Details

e.g. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_posix.cc#247 We can't call waitpid anymore post-Nuwa because we will always get ECHILD. That could cause problems.
[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:
Blocks: CAF-v2.0-CC-metabug
blocking-b2g: --- → 2.0?
I don't think this is fixable for 2.0. We should block on user-visible symptoms, not engineering issues.
(In reply to Kyle Huey [:khuey] (khuey@mozilla.com) from comment #2) > I don't think this is fixable for 2.0. We should block on user-visible > symptoms, not engineering issues. Do you think that it is not related to 3 foreground app seen in bug 1055299 ?
Flags: needinfo?(khuey)
I don't know if it's related or not, but even if it is it's not clear that there's anything usual going on in bug 1055299.
Flags: needinfo?(khuey)
No longer blocks: CAF-v2.0-CC-metabug
No longer a CAF blocker, so moving this to backlog.
blocking-b2g: 2.0? → backlog
Note that waitpid will sometimes fail on direct children as well, thanks to NSPR and bug 227246, so we still need to be able to deal with that case.
blocking-b2g: backlog → ---
tracking-b2g: --- → backlog
Nuwa is gone after bug 1284674.
