I'm seeing this crash with current trunk build on this url:
http://people.mozilla.org/~mwargers/tests/forms/formautosubmit_parentframes.htm
And then quickly randomly double-tapping all over the place.
It might not be super easy to reproduce the crash, but I've been able to get a crash this way within 1 minute or so.
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-250de2af-eeec-4739-a431-13e402120509
This is on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Version: 13 Branch → Trunk
Wow.  Reproducible with Martijn's test case.  Zoom in and tap in the text fields, pan tap, pan tap... eventually you will run into this.

This was with the Samsung Galaxy S II, 5/9/2012 Nightly
Summary: [@ nsBaseContentList::cycleCollection::CanSkipReal ] → Crash in nsBaseContentList::cycleCollection::CanSkipReal
Attached file testcase
I can also reproduce it with this testcase on the Galaxy Nexus (and much easier).
Double tapping on the right iframe makes Fennec crash.
The iframe content just contains a script that is quickly refreshing that page.
I guess this might be Java code that is causing the crash in Gecko?

blassey, who would be a good person to investigate CycleCollector crash? This two-month old bug has recently become a #1 or #2 topcrash for 15.0a1 and has a reproducible testcase.

Martijn's tests made it #1 top crasher.

Odds are something is putting garbage into an nsBaseContentList, and the CC is just the first thing that happens to try to touch it.
It looks like somebody is storing a null pointer into an nsBaseContentList.  I'm not sure if that is okay or not.  Maybe we just need a null check in CanSkipReal?
It's #4 top crasher in 14.0b3.

Boris, do you know if it is normal for a field of the mElements of an nsBaseContentList to be null?  I'm trying to figure out if this crash is due to a missing null check in cycle collector code, or because a null is somehow leaking into this array where it shouldn't.
Assignee: nobody → continuation
blocking-fennec1.0: ? → +
Could someone check what is putting null to mElements?
There shouldn't be null things in mElements.  There is already an assert to that effect in nsBaseContentList::InsertElementAt.  Add one in nsBaseContentList::AppendElement too, and see if you hit it?
Though note that some subclasses (e.g. nsContentList) touch the array directly.  They still shouldn't be putting null in, though!
mw22, does your test example hit any asserts when run in a debug build?
Here's the stack when we append a NULL content:

And we do so because CheckAncestryAndGetFrame returns NULL.

In this case 'this' is https://bug731293.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=625378
and currentDoc is text/html;charset=utf-8,%3Cscript%3E%0AsetTimeout%28function%28%29%20%7Bwindow.location.reload%28%29%3B%7D%2C%20200%29%3B%0A%3C/script%3E

I don't know if CheckAncestryAndGetFrame is doing the right thing here or not.

Summary: Crash in nsBaseContentList::cycleCollection::CanSkipReal → Crash in nsBaseContentList::cycleCollection::CanSkipReal caused by nsDocument::NodesFromRectHelper
Just from looking at the code, it seems like null is a reasonable value for CheckAncestryAndGetFrame to return.  The name implies it can fail, which would result in returning null.

Yeah, it seems like the caller needs to figure out what an appropriate thing is to do when CheckAncestryAndGetFrame returns null.
nsDocument::NodesFromRectHelper is just broken here.  It shouldn't be putting null in that list.  The only two consumers (in Fennec chrome code) would end up throwing exceptions if the list contained null....
Blocks: 489127
In this test case though it seems like CheckAncestryAndGetFrame should be returning the FrameElement for and not NULL. i.e. shouldn't the list of Frames and associated nsIContents all be ancestors of the current document?
bz/jeff - is one of you the right assignee for this, given that you're pretty active in it?
The right assignee is someone who understans what that code is trying to do.

So probably Felipe or roc?

I can fix the crash, obviously, but it's not clear to me what behavior I'd break in the process...  Then again, it's behavior that currently always crashes, so maybe it's not a problem.
Note that this code is very similar to ElementFromPoint which has existed for longer, and would also return null in that case.

Which is also odd to think that ElementFromPoint could ever return null for a valid x/y point.

Maybe this would happen when the function is being called from a sub-document and there's a higher level document over the x/y point (or, in this case, area) being used.. bz, what do you think?

The CheckAncestryAndGetFrame exists there to not return any cross-document elements. So if that theory makes sense then it's a correct fix to check for null and not add it to the list. Which I believe is the fix we'll end up doing but I wanted to understand why it happens first.
I really don't know offhand why null is being returned here.  I could dig through the code if desired....
It's #1 top crasher in 14.0b5 with 12.7% of crashes.

That would be very helpful (top crash for Fennec Native right now as per #25).  Thanks.
Attached patch Patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Patch doing the obvious. It'd still be good to understand what changed to cause this (this API had been in use in XUL fennec for a long time), but fixing the crash soon seems good. I'm pretty sure there's no point in having null elements in the list returned so the change seems reasonable.

Martijn: I sent it to tryserver; after it is built could you try the testcase and see if it fixes the problem? https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=9100f56a76f2, builds here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/felipc@gmail.com-9100f56a76f2

nsBaseContentList::InsertElementAt asserts its aContent parameter != NULL. Should nsBaseContentList::AppendElement have an assert, too?

Yes!

No, that can't happen here since we're only looking at this document's root frame and its descendants.

I suspect what's happening here is that we're rendering the "zombie document" that is going away due to a pending navigation, we find content in that document and call nsDocument::CheckAncestryAndGetFrame, which returns null for zombie documents for some reason.

I think we can do a much more robust approach that walks the frame tree. working up a patch.
Felipe, if these patches work for you, let's do it this way :-).

r=me, in general, though if roc's patches make the nsDocument bit not needed so much the better.

Yeah, WFM. But I don't have an env ready to build and test Fennec so if someone who does could try the testcase with these patches that'd be nice
Wondering about the risk profile for these two approaches - Felipes patches seem simpler, should we just take that for FF14 (Fennec Native 1.0) since its essentially a null check and let roc's patches land for 15/16?

That sounds reasonable.

With Felipe's patch, in testcases where we currently crash we will instead fail to register the touch/click. I.e., touching/clicking an iframe currently reloading its document might fail to do anything. My patches should fix that.

Patch v2

[Triage Comment]
We'll take this patch for beta, for aurora/m-c we should probably take roc's patch.

That behavior doesn't sound unreasonable even for release (and crashing is surely worse), even though improving that with your patches is probably preferable in the long term.

CallQueryInterface will crash if 'elem' is null.

s/PRInt32/nsAutoTArray<nsIFrame*,8>::size_type/

The second comment line is confusing; "replace"? "the first"?
Perhaps this is better:
  // We have a node that isn't an element or a text node,
  // use its parent content instead.


> +    nsIContent* ptContent = f->GetContent();

'pt'?  Just 'content' will do I think.

I think 'contains' is a bit misleading since normally it just returns
aFrame->GetContent().  The 'contains' suggests to me it returns
aFrame->GetContent()->GetParent().  The name of the method is clear though,
but if you can rephrase the comment without the "contains" that would be good.

It will still crash.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Ms2ger, the crash has gone away, please open a new bug for it speculatively being able to crash
Status: REOPENED → RESOLVED
Closed: 12 years ago12 years ago
Resolution: --- → FIXED
There are no crashes in builds above 16.0a1/20120608.
There are still crashes in Aurora where the patch hasn't landed.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Ok, we need to decide if the work around or the fuller fix goes on to Aurora.  Given its early in the cycle, I think we take roc's patches.  Roc, can you nom?
Tracking to make sure we don't lose this.

This crash is still our #2 topcrash for Fennec 15.
Somehow I failed to land my changes to address review comments :-(
