Bug 83567 – [BlackBerry] Crash when tearing down web page rendered using WebPageCompositor

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit BlackBerry

[Arvid Nilsson]

This happens when the WebPage::setVisible(false) is called as part of tearing down a WebPage. This calls suspendRootLayerCommit() which schedules destroyLayerResources() on the UI thread. UI thread call stack:

WebCore::LayerRenderer::releaseLayerResources (this=0x0)

so if the mlayerRenderer is null, "resources" were already released?

Yes, or you could see it this way - the LayerRenderer owns the resources that should be released, so if there's no LayerRenderer, there are no resources to delete. Resources = textures right now, but could be more stuff in the future (for example shaders).

Ok. I was wondering was would be the codepath be...

Right now, it's probably due to an earlier call to WebPageCompositor::cleanup() that would clear the layer renderer. The layer rendrrer destructor then releases the resources.
