Bug 79036 – [GTK] Adding SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_DEFAULT feature to soup session makes WebProcess to hang

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

The web process hangs sometimes (1 out of 4 times or so for me). The problem can be reproduced running TestWebKitWebView unit test, it usually hangs in replace-content test, since it's when the web process finishes launching. I don't have a backtrace, but it hangs creating a GSocket in g_socket_class_init() while installing the local-adress property. Since glib version hasn't changed I've bisectd webkit and I've found the commit that introduces the problem is this one:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/107973

That commit not only moves code, but it also adds SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_DEFAULT to the default session in webkit2. I have no idea why, but just removing that feature fixes the hang.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

The problem is that g_socket_address_get_type() is called from two threads at the same time, causing a deadlock. This happens when the proxy resolver tries to get settings from dconf using dbus and WebKit creates the socket to communicate with the ui process.
