Bug 28624

http://build.webkit.org/builders/Leopard%20Intel%20Release%20%28Tests%29/builds/4306 is the first build which seems to have seen the timeout.

Actually: http://build.webkit.org/builders/Leopard%20Intel%20Release%20%28Tests%29/builds/4295 is an earlier build from Thu Aug 20 21:27:41 2009 which saw the timeout.

That build was triggered by ollie's JSC variable count change: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/47620. Don't know how that would make this test timeout.

I don't think it's related to Oliver's change at all. I think this test is just flakey. What caused the flake, I don't know, but something before Oliver's change.

This could have the same root cause as bug 28845.

Just saw media/video-source-error.html timeout. http://build.webkit.org/results/Leopard%20Intel%20Release%20(Tests)/r48163%20(4792)/results.html Possibly the same cause.

Seen again landing bug 29038.media/video-source-error.html seems to be the most common timeout seen by the commit-bot.

Another timeout of media/video-source-error.html seen while landing bug 26700. I'll attach the timeout file.

Created attachment 39306 [details] spin report from most recent hang from landing bug 26700. This looks like these hangs are caused by bug 28624.

Yet another timeout when landing bug 29001. :(

Yet another timeout landing bug 29065.

I'm running the media and compositing tests hundreds of times (via the patch in bug 29263), and haven't get crashed, on 10.5.8.

media/video-source-type.html is a new one, probably the same root cause: http://build.webkit.org/results/Leopard%20Intel%20Release%20(Tests)/r48683%20(5277)/results.html

video-loop and video-source again just now: http://build.webkit.org/results/Leopard%20Intel%20Release%20(Tests)/r48687%20(5281)/results.html Looks like we have a few more media tests to skip. :(

Simon suggests that we disable hardware compositiing until this bug can be fixed in QuickTime: defaults write .... WebKitAcceleratedCompositingEnabled -bool NO We will need to make a patch to DRT to set that default on leopard builds (at least until a new version of quicktime is available). Eric, perhaps you could help me with the quicktime version check? I'd like to make it only turn it off for bad versions of QuickTime.

By eric I meant simon of course. :)

Wow, this disaster never ends. :( So I have a working patch which disables HW Compositing and makes the media tests reliably pass. However, now I just saw this test fail: http/tests/messaging/cross-domain-message-event-dispatch.html -> crashed With a crash under: Thread 8 Crashed: 0 ...uickTimeStreaming.component 0x1d4a939e QTSInetCachedDownload_SetProperty + 315 1 ...uickTimeStreaming.component 0x1d4af2ca QTSInetDownload_TransactionNotification + 324 2 ...uickTimeStreaming.component 0x1d4b28ca QTSInetTransaction_ProcessResponseHeader + 1659 3 ...uickTimeStreaming.component 0x1d4b39ea QTSInetTransaction_ReadStreamCallback + 699 4 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x955cab1b _signalEventSync + 91 5 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x955cabbe _cfstream_solo_signalEventSync + 126 6 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x955cd057 CFReadStreamSignalEvent + 39 7 com.apple.CFNetwork 0x91d00e00 HTTPReadStream::streamEvent(unsigned long) + 68 I'll attach the crash log to the bug. It may be completely unrelated.

My "disaster" comment was intentional hyperbole, but I realize now it might not read that way. ;) All and all this mess has been annoying, but certainly not a "disaster".

Also, these two tests fail with HW compositing disabled: fast/media/mq-transform-02.html fast/media/mq-transform-03.html I guess I could add special "passing" test results for Leopard since I assume these failures just need to be tracked as new bugs.

Simon: I'm very interested in your comments as to this approach. 1. If you think this is a good way to go about stopping the crashes. 2. If I did my OS version check correctly. 3. If I did my QT version check correctly (and if 7.6.5 is a reasonable revision to assume this might get fixed in). Thanks!

Furthermore, I only saw the crash seen in https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=40129 once. I've run the layout tests 3 times with this patch. I expect we might be trading one bout of flakiness for another by disabling this if the crash from https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=40129 reproduces again. But hopefully we're moving one step further towards stability.

4. If you would rather I skip fast/media/mq-transform-02.html and fast/media/mq-transform-03.html on mac-leopard instead of checking in new results, let me know.

I will need to slightly amend my change or fix bug 29751 or others may be bitten by bug 29751.

Comment on attachment 40151 [details] Set setAcceleratedCompositingEnabled:YES to work around bug 29751 Thanks for the review. I'll close out the rest of the bugs after we verify these crashes are gone for a couple days.
