Attached patch Proposed Patch (obsolete) (deleted) β€” β€” Splinter Review
Nuwa should not receive messages except messages used to controls Nuwa.
Blocks: 1032125
Summary: [Nuwa] Don't send SetOffline message to Nuwa after Nuwa ready → [Nuwa] Don't forward observed notification to Nuwa after Nuwa ready
Attached patch Proposed Patch v2 (obsolete) (deleted) β€” β€” Splinter Review
This patch makes ContentParent not send observed notification to Nuwa directly. If Nuwa's ContentParent observed something that needs to be forwarded to child after nuwa ready, it stores the values and resends them to child when a new process is created.

there's an 'i' between l and z in Reinitialize.

While you're here add braces for this if().

I would prefer that you wrote the preprocessing conditional so that the actual method call is the same in both cases.

Update patch according to review comment. I also moved ContentParent::NuwaReady() function form patch for bug 1032125 to this patch. That patch has already been reviewed, just because this bug is one of the bugs that block its landing.

Patch v.5 (r=khuey)

Review of attachment 8477179 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After digging into how device storage works, I am not sure if this is a proper way to stop sending file update messages to Nuwa. This causes bugs (like bug 1058376). If this patch is not right, I'd prefer back it out and rewrite instead of providing fix based on it.
Attachment #8477179 - Flags: feedback?(dhylands)
So, I think that Nuwa can just ignore file update messages.

The purpose for the file update notifications is to tell apps that are using device storage, that a change has occurred (so an async notification).

The normal flow of an app which uses device storage (gallery, music, video - for example) is to perform an enumeration of the file system (or read a database) to get the initial state, and then use the async notifications to get changes.

Any changes prior to a child getting the initial state are essentially irrelevant.

So there is no reason for an app to get file update messages until it's actually a real app and its executed some JS to open device storage and get some initial state.

From the Nuwa perspective, I think that this means that the Nuwa process can safely ignore file update messages, and there is no need to remember any file update notifications that might come along.

Once bug 1036877 lands, then file system updates can also be ignored by Nuwa.

(In reply to Dave Hylands [:dhylands] from comment #13)

Thank you for explaining, Dave. I just tried with logs and saw that nothing is observing file update in Nuwa or in preallocated proc.
