Bug 853350 is going to add a fanotify-based component that will notify about a low device free space situation. We need to observe this notification and avoid any new offline cache download.
Blocks: low-storage
Needed as part of the blocking work in bug 853350 for protecting against low storage conditions and not bricking one's phone.

Attached patch WIP (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
Honza, could you give me some feedback about this approach, please? Please, ignore the "sms-sent" and "sms-received" events. I am just using them for testing purposes. They are supposed to be changed by the events sent by the component build in bug 853350. That would be an event notifying about a low device storage situation and another event notifying about the recovery of that situation. I have several doubts about this approach. I am not sure if we are supposed to throw right away in nsOfflineUpdateService functions when we know that the update is gonna fail or if we better do that asynchronously (I am still not sure about how to do that). I've checked that there are calls to this functions that are not within a try-catch block. For example [1]. So we would need to fix that if we finally take this approach. Thanks!

Right! A different approach could be checking for a persistent flag that the free space component built in bug 853350 might expose during the initialization of the appcache service.

Comment on attachment 738148 [details] [diff] [review] WIP Review of attachment 738148 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- The approach seems correct to me. Early init and only notifications available are probably enough. However, I believe the low-disk-space service will also provide a global flag.

Is the patch here causing us to throw exceptions? It's better if we treat it as an asynchronous IO error.
Comment on attachment 738148 [details] [diff] [review] WIP Honza's feedback to this is more important than mine :)
Attachment #738148 - Flags: feedback?(bugs)
> Is the patch here causing us to throw exceptions? It's better if we treat it as an asynchronous IO error. Yeah ferjm and I talked about this but were hoping it was ok to just throw :) For async failure we'll need to change to generate a nsIOfflineCacheUpdate as normal, but mark it so that it fails immediately (but asychronously) with the usual nsIOfflineCacheUpdateObserver notifications.
(In reply to Jonas Sicking (:sicking) from comment #9) > Is the patch here causing us to throw exceptions? It's better if we treat it > as an asynchronous IO error. Yes, but we should be catching that exceptions in chrome code, so we shouldn't be throwing any exception to content. Is that still unacceptable? In any case, I'll work on the alternative approach that Jason mentioned.

I've tested this approach and it seems to be working ok. With this patch, we asynchronously notify about a failure offline cache update even if we reach the low device storage situation while an update is running. I'll be working on automatic tests for this.

It will finish asynchronously (correct) in LoadFinished() after an item finished load, but it will also trigger the next waiting update that first has to check the manifest change to get to the point it discovers we are low on disk space. Manifest load also involves some space allocation and generally speaking, it's wasting. As I'm thinking of it, you should cancel all updates here. This will set state of all of them to CANCELED. When you enter the nsOfflineCacheUpdate::Begin() method and the update state is CANCELED, you have to *asynchronously* (do a dispatch) trigger a failure notification you've added in ProcessNextURI. There is nsRunnableMethod for this.
Attachment #739471 - Flags: review?(honzab.moz) → review-
You should also have a test for this. You can directly call the service Schedule method few times for always a different manifest (just use ?somecrap to have more URLs). Then in the "onchecking" event you should trigger artificial call to low-disk-space notification on the update service. You should receive the same number of "onerror" calls as you have scheduled the updates. There is a whole test suit in dom/tests/mochitest/ajax/offline to check on for examples.

The proposal I made for the Begin() method is taking care of it. Running updates will cancel in LoadFinished().

Can somebody explain this bug to triage? What user scenario is this associated with? Are we trying to prevent downloading new appcache resources for offline apps when low on space?

It seems that offline cache mochitests are disabled for b2g https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/4ff8aa4a7295/testing/mochitest/b2g.json#l213 :(

Sorry I wasn't clear about this Jason. Comment 54 was done through mobile in a rush and I couldn't explain too much. It seems that Ikura devices have the fanotify kernel patch. Also I've been testing with a Keon with a custom boot.img that includes the kernel patch that I can share with you if you need it.
Finally got this working on a partner eng build from 6/5. Sorry for the confusion here. Sanity test looked okay where I tried to write a 20 MB appcache via a HTML page with 24 MB left - when I hit the 5 MB limit, the appcache I tried to write was rolled back and I got a toast indicating the low storage warning with 24 MB left.
lgtm on a 6/6 partner 1.01 build. I did tests around: - Ensuring the low storage notification fires hitting the 5 MB limit - Ensuring that you can write appcache resources in between 10 MB and 5 MB before you hit the 5 MB limit - Ensure you cannot write appcache resources in between 10 MB and 5 MB after hitting the 5 MB limit - Ensuring that after you hit the above 10 MB limit again after hitting 5 MB, you can write appcache resources
