[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:
This happens in the homescreen app and I get an endless homescreen reboot cycle. Restarting the phone doesn't fix the problem.

I cannot reproduce this bug on today's Aries. Added 7 pinned pages and 5 pinned sites and didn't see this error in logcat and didn't see anything visually weird on Homescreen.

Gregor can we get more information from you here? All you did was pin some pages to the homescreen and then it caused your homescreen to reboot constantly?
Can we possibly get a list (incomplete is fine) of the pages you added or at least an estimate of how many?
Thanks

Maybe a flexbox issue given the top stack frames in the attachment?
Is the homescreen using flexbox layout with the 'order' CSS property by any chance?

Yup, it looks like that this is a flex container w/ "order" set on some children. (And MergeSort is failing to sort them, somehow.)
This is surprising & somewhat troubling, but unlikely to be dangerous; for now, we can just soften the assertion to NS_ASSERTION (spammy but non-fatal) to fix the reboot loop. It's only fatal (MOZ_ASSERT) right now because it's so obvious that it should succeed, not because anything particularly bad happens if it fails. (just potentially broken layout)
A frame-tree dump at the time of the assertion-failure would be somewhat handy (combined with the "this" pointer of the nsFlexContainerFrame at stack-level 2), though I'm not sure how easy it is to extract that from the homescreen on B2G....

(I guess technically we don't know if 'order' has been set at this point, but it seems likely. We do know, however, that the children have been reordered in the DOM, which is why we're using IsOrderLEQWithDOMFallback instead of just IsOrderLEQ)

Here's a band-aid patch which we could take if we need to.
First, though, I'm curious if we have concrete STR, and if it's possible to get a regression range using debug builds.

I would be the obvious owner, so I'll chime in here.
As a 2.5 blocker, for the moment, I'd suggest just softening the assertion with the attached patch. As noted in comment 10, this is unexpected, but worst-case it just means the layout might end up slightly wrong. (Or it might be right, and we're just getting something wrong & failing this assertion when we're trying to verify that it's right.)
In the meantime, I can take some time to flash a debug build onto a device to see if I can reproduce & investigate further into what's actually going on.

Good news; I can reproduce the fatal assert on a desktop b2g build, with a fresh gaia profile & 2 pinned pages.
Also, I get zillions of this related nonfatal assertion before the fatal assertion happens:
[Parent 20491] ###!!! ASSERTION: Child frames aren't sorted correctly: '(!mFrames.IsEmpty() && mFrames.FirstChild()->GetContent()->GetContainingShadow()) || nsIFrame::IsFrameListSorted<IsOrderLEQWithDOMFallback>(mFrames)', file /scratch/work/builds/b2g-inbound/mozilla/layout/generic/nsFlexContainerFrame.cpp, line 1986
More info shortly, after lunch + a gdb session...

(and the zillions of nonfatal assertions start happening pretty much right away, before I've done anything.)

Comment 24•9 years ago

gdb shows that this is a version of bug 1059138. Basically:
- There's a flex container ("gaia-container") which has some children which are part of a shadow DOM, and some children which are not.
- It also has some children which have "order" set, so it has to sort its children (and asserts that it sorted them correctly)
- It sorts by "order", though among items with equal "order" values (like the default value) it sorts by DOM order, using nsContentUtils::PositionIsBefore().
- BUT, unfortunately, nsContentUtils::PositionIsBefore() is not reliable (it always returns false) if one of the elements is in a shadow DOM.
So, this means the sort operation is unreliable, because our "lessThan" operator effectively returns false more often than it should, and so when we go through the just-sorted list to be sure it's actually sorted, we find two adjacent elements where "lessThan" surprisingly returns false (because one of them is in the shadow DOM).
For the time being, I think we should just soften this assertion, and keep an eye out for layout issues. And really, we should extend nsContentUtils::PositionIsBefore() to actually work correctly w/ elements in a shadow DOM.
Depends on: 1059138

possible band-aid: use non-fatal assertion
gregor, is reducing the assertion-severity OK with you as a way of addressing this startup-abort, for the time being? As noted above, a real fix will require some work from someone who knows a bit more about shadow DOM than I do, I think. (probably over on bug 1059138)
In the meantime, there may be some assertion-spam as a result of this (in debug builds), but it's better than an abort at least...

(I may be able to take the shadow DOM work, but I can't really dive in at the moment, and I don't feel comfortable committing to figuring that out & fixing & backporting that as a FxOS 2.5 blocker, at this point.)

possible band-aid: use non-fatal assertion
Thanks. I suppose I should get review from a fellow layout person - tagging mats.
Mats, see comment 24 for what's going on here. Basically, we're fatally-asserting something that we can't reliably enforce right now, when web components (shadow DOM, really) are enabled.
I hope I or a DOM person can make this better in bug 1059138, but for now, this can't be fatal because b2g debug is tripping over it.
Commit message will be something like:
>Bug 1219153: Reduce the severity of a flex item sortedness assertion that can be made to fail with web components.

This removes all sortedness assertions from my debug output (both fatal & non-fatal).
The node in question here, which was part of the shadow-DOM, was an all-whitespace node (which I'm deleting here by removing this whitespace).
(tangent: normally this node wouldn't even show up in the frame tree -- we don't make anonymous flex items around all-whitespace runs -- but in this case there are some adjacent placeholder frames which get grouped together with it into an anonymous flex item, so the all-whitespace run *does* end up in the frame tree [as the first child of this anonymous flex item], and so it gets used when we try to sort that anonymous flex item by DOM order. If we remove this node, then the anonymous flex item will just have the abspos placeholders, and we'll use them for sorting instead, and it seems they're not part of a shadow DOM so they don't break stuff in the way that this whitespace broke stuff.)

gaia hackaround, as pull request [later redone as pull request to "gaia-container" project]
I'm happy with this change and it's an r+ from me, but this is an external component, so the change needs to be checked in here: https://gitlab.com/Cwiiis/gaia-container and then the component needs to be updated and checked in to Gaia (by installing bower, and running 'bower update gaia-container' in the homescreen directory).
If you could open a merge request for the gaia-container repository and a pull-request for Gaia, that'd be appreciated :) If you don't have bower installed, I don't mind handling the latter half of that.
