In addition to the STR. To reproduce the huge memory and CPU usage, you might need to reload(f5) the page.
I tried this on Mac, and we can see significant CPU usage and rendering problems as well. First, regarding the CPU usage: With CSS filters enabled, the rich scrolling experience portion of the page is also enabled. With CSS filters disabled, the whole section containing the scrolling experience is display: none. The scrolling experience is contained within the element with class “section-intro”. The scrolling experience involves zooming into an extremely large image as you scroll down the page (try it in Safari or Chrome). The scrolling experience itself doesn’t use CSS filters much. There’s only one element on the page with a CSS filter, and that element always has “filter:opacity(1)”. The element has the class “intro-content”. If you remove this CSS filter from the page, there is no visible effect on performance or rendering. That particular element (“intro-content”) contains a 5x3 grid of 1310x1547 canvases (resulting in a fairly large element). These canvases are the slices of the extremely large image that’s being “zoomed into” as you scroll down. Interestingly, the high CPU usage is not from these elements. Rather, it appears to be from a small circular button with the text “Scroll” at the bottom of the page. The scroll button has a element with the class “shimmer”. This element has a gradient background and an infinite CSS animation of background-position. This gives the scroll button a “shimmery” effect to get the user’s attention and indicate that they should scroll down. For this element to appear on the page, you have to stay on the page for a few seconds and not scroll. When you delete the “shimmer” element, CPU usage (on my MBP) in Firefox Nightly drops from 50% to <10%. Similarly, in Safari, CPU usage is at 30% with the “shimmer” element present. I profiled the CPU usage, and it appears to be mostly painting (and display list reconstruction), apparently due to the continuous background-position animation. CSS filters related code doesn’t show up as anything significant in the profile. Regarding the rendering problems: Ignoring the CPU usage problem, the scrolling experience doesn’t appear to work properly. The extremely large image made up of 15 canvases is not centered in the viewport as it should be (as seen in Safari and Chrome). Instead, its top left corner is positioned at the top left corner of the viewport. Also, there is no “zooming” effect as you scroll down the page. Additionally, the shimmer button doesn’t look right. It’s not clipped to a circle and you see can an opaque gradient background animating. It seems like the developers of the page need to do some work to get the scrolling experience to work as expected in Firefox. However, it seems they haven’t had a chance to do that yet, and their CSS Filters feature detection is turning on the scrolling experience prematurely in Firefox. We should probably get in touch with them. On our side, I’m not quite sure what to do here. From a perf standpoint, we can keep making painting faster in general and perhaps look at this specific animation. I’m not quite sure how to fix the rendering problems on the page itself (the JS code is minified, so it’s hard to tell what’s causing incompatibility between Firefox and Safari + Chrome).
Attached file Mac Profile (for Instruments) (deleted) —
This is the profile / trace for Mac. You can open it up in Instruments. It shows there's a lot of painting going on, and nothing much related to CSS filters.
I've sent Apple website feedback at [1] regarding that URL to give them a heads up that the rich scrolling experience needs some testing in Firefox. [1]: http://www.apple.com/contact/feedback.html
This bug affects me using Aurora 35.0a2 under Linux as well. When I visit that page it hangs the browser and increases the memory usage and swap by a couple of gigs until I force kill Firefox.
I've managed to repro the hang during page load on Windows. (It did not occur on Mac or Linux for me.) The hang is in a JavaScript loop which creates 15 canvas elements (sized 1310x1547) and draws the same massive image [1] (sized 6500x4610) into each one using the canvas drawImage JS API. I attached the Visual Studio debugger and during the hang, if you pause, you usually get a call stack as shown below. It looks like Firefox is spinning its wheels creating the bitmap for the massive 6500x4610 image over and over again (6500x4610 * 4 bytes = 114MB!). In CanvasRenderingContext2D::DrawImage, we do a CanvasImageCache::Lookup, using the img element and the canvas element as the cache key. I'm wondering why we don't share an image cache across all canvas elements? That might avoid regenerating the image 15 times. --- xul.dll!ID2D1RenderTarget::CreateBitmap(D2D_SIZE_U size, const D2D1_BITMAP_PROPERTIES & bitmapProperties, ID2D1Bitmap * * bitmap) Line 3227 C++ xul.dll!mozilla::gfx::SourceSurfaceD2D::InitFromData(unsigned char * aData, const mozilla::gfx::IntSizeTyped<mozilla::gfx::UnknownUnits> & aSize, int aStride, mozilla::gfx::SurfaceFormat aFormat, ID2D1RenderTarget * aRT) Line 79 C++ xul.dll!mozilla::gfx::DrawTargetD2D::OptimizeSourceSurface(mozilla::gfx::SourceSurface * aSurface) Line 1223 C++ xul.dll!nsLayoutUtils::SurfaceFromElement(nsIImageLoadingContent * aElement, unsigned int aSurfaceFlags, mozilla::gfx::DrawTarget * aTarget) Line 5851 C++ xul.dll!nsLayoutUtils::SurfaceFromElement(mozilla::dom::Element * aElement, unsigned int aSurfaceFlags, mozilla::gfx::DrawTarget * aTarget) Line 5997 C++ xul.dll!mozilla::dom::CanvasRenderingContext2D::DrawImage(const mozilla::dom::HTMLImageElementOrHTMLCanvasElementOrHTMLVideoElement & image, double sx, double sy, double sw, double sh, double dx, double dy, double dw, double dh, unsigned char optional_argc, mozilla::ErrorResult & error) Line 3918 C++ xul.dll!mozilla::dom::CanvasRenderingContext2D::DrawImage(const mozilla::dom::HTMLImageElementOrHTMLCanvasElementOrHTMLVideoElement & image, double dx, double dy, mozilla::ErrorResult & error) Line 275 C++ xul.dll!mozilla::dom::CanvasRenderingContext2DBinding::drawImage(JSContext * cx, JS::Handle<JSObject *> obj, mozilla::dom::CanvasRenderingContext2D * self, const JSJitMethodCallArgs & args) Line 3969 C++ xul.dll!mozilla::dom::GenericBindingMethod(JSContext * cx, unsigned int argc, JS::Value * vp) Line 2425 C++ xul.dll!js::CallJSNative(JSContext * cx, bool (JSContext *, unsigned int, JS::Value *) * native, const JS::CallArgs & args) Line 231 C++ --- [1]: http://images.apple.com/v/imac-with-retina/a/images/overview/intro_large_2x.jpg
Related to the above comment, Rik tried making all canvases share the same image cache, and it fixed the hang. (He passed in NULL for the canvas part of the (image element, canvas) cache key.) @roc - Is there a reason to keep images cached separately for different canvas elements?

Thanks for delving into this, Max! Since it's not really your bug :-). There's a security issue with just making the cache global. On a cache miss, CanvasRenderingContext2D::DrawImage calls DoDrawImageSecurityCheck, but on a cache hit, it doesn't. The idea is that the first draw of an image to a particular canvas does the security check and after that we don't need to do it again (since the canvas will already have been tainted if necessary). Using a global cache would break that. We need to make nsLayoutUtils::SurfaceFromElement return the same optimized surface every time it's called. In this case, I don't understand why OptimizeSourceSurface is doing work here. The image should already have been optimized for D2D, I would have thought, as soon as decoding finished. Seth, am I right? Max, can you check whether imgFrame::Optimize was called for the image and if not, why not? Thanks!!!

BTW on Linux right now I'm not seeing this effect you're describing. Has Apple changed the page already?

I think we can probably make a global cache work, though as you say the security issues as you mentioned make it slightly tricky. We could for example store a list of principals a given imgFrame has already been checked against, and pass the principal as part of the cache lookup. I'd love for us to use the ImageLib SurfaceCache for this, but as I understand it we also store video frames in the CanvasImageCache, so what to do with them also requires some thought. > We need to make nsLayoutUtils::SurfaceFromElement return the same optimized > surface every time it's called.

Seth, > am I right? Max, can you check whether imgFrame::Optimize was called for the > image and if not, why not? Thanks!!! It's true that imgFrame::Optimize should be called whenever we finish decoding. Two possible gotchas are: 1. The backend might be different for the canvas than for content, so maybe OptimizeSourceSurface needs to do a conversion. I think that's not true on desktop, though, right? 2. We *deoptimize* the imgFrame when we do HQ scaling, and we keep it deoptimized until scaling is finished. I don't think that should be happening for images that are only drawn into a canvas and nowhere else, since we should be drawing without FLAG_HIGH_QUALITY_SCALING set. There are also other scenarios where we might not have an optimized surface that I don't think apply here (animated images, single color images).

We discussed the issue with the lack of centering in #gfx when Apple posted the page, and ISTR that they noticed the problem and changed the page within a couple of hours of posting it.

Would it help if you make the cache per document instead of per canvas instance?
(In reply to Rik Cabanier from comment #20) > Would it help if you make the cache per document instead of per canvas > instance? No. Then a page could draw an image to canvas A, tainting canvas A and putting the image in the CanvasImageCache for the document. Then the page could draw the image to canvas B, getting a cache hit and bypassing DoDrawImageSecurityCheck so canvas B is not tainted.

Yeah, it should be DrawTargetD2D in both cases. Now the page is gone, I guess it's going to be hard to figure out why the image wasn't already optimized :-(. We may have to resolve this RESOLVED INCOMPLETE unless someone can come up with a testcase that shows the problem.
Isn't content currently DrawTargetD2D1 and canvas DrawTargetD2D, because we couldn't enable D2D 1.1 for canvas yet?

I still see the broken scrolling experience on Linux and other platforms (see attachment). However, I've only seen the hang during page load on Windows.

There's a bug involving huge memory usage with images being drawing to multiple canvases being fixed in bug 1081926. Might help with this page on windows.

Might help with this page on > windows. Thanks, Michael. I'll take a look. I'm halfway done with a potential fix for this one. Unfortunately, I got derailed this week with a different project. Hoping to post a patch next week.
Try build of Bug 1081926 Comment 36 fixes this problem. So, I marked as duplicate.
