While investigating bug 957346 I noticed that on v1.3 the ril_worker.js always seemed to be running. On the same device with the same simcard and wifi settings the ril_worker.js was never seen in the memory reports. This is a problem because the ril_worker seems to use about 2.7MB which is a significant amount of space on these devices. Can anyone from the RIL team comment on this? I'm nom'ing this for 1.3? blocking status since bug 957346 is a CS 1.3+ blocker.

For the memory reports please see bug 957346 comment 6.

My guess is this is a regression, so flagging as such.

Were you using a moz ril in both cases? If you're using the com ril there is no worker.

This is a buri with V1.2_US_20131115.cfg. I was flashing only gecko and gaia to switch to v1.2 vs v1.3. I used ./flash.sh gecko and make reset-gaia to do this. I didn't think this would change the RIL in use. Does it?

The com ril is a binary xpcom component, and these are not compatible from one gecko version to another. So your 1.2 (gecko 26) build runs with the com ril, but this component is not compatible with 1.3 (gecko 28) so we fallback on the moz ril and its worker.

Is there anything in the log I can look for to verify that is happening? On my 1.3 I am seeing log messages from QCRIL_RPC, etc.

Anyway, I'm going to mark this INVALID as it seems my configuration is bogus. Sorry for the noise!

On my 1.4 gecko build running on a 1.2 base I get that early in startup: E/GeckoConsole( 4612): Native module at path '/system/b2g/distribution/bundles/libqc_b2g_ril/libqc_b2g_ril.so' is incompatible with this version of Firefox, has version 26, expected 29.

Yep, I have that. Thanks!
