Beta (tracy)
option #1: - No New Info as of this morning
- More info/updates in Bug 911502
- We get any new information that more than one user is able to reproduce
- In which case we will still stick the recent backout and no need for an additional beta
- We get any new information that more than one user is able to reproduce
option #2: - has builds up , needs user testing (might know tomorrow)
- :mattwoodrow proposed option in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=911502#c55 works
- may call for a re-landing of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881634 + a disabling PGO for that file around offending code to avoid the issue
- Calls for another beta (FX24.0b11)
- may call for a re-landing of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881634 + a disabling PGO for that file around offending code to avoid the issue
- :mattwoodrow proposed option in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=911502#c55 works
option #3:
- There has been some back-forth on whether the patch in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=881634 fixes the issue at all ?
- Discuss that in the channel meeting and get clarity on STR and everyone on the same page
- If we are at consensus that we are better off landing the forward fix and taking a risk for a possible issue in Bug 911502 in case option #1 & #2 don't work, then another beta may be required (FX24.0b11)
- Discuss that in the channel meeting and get clarity on STR and everyone on the same page
- If we with the above due to the limited data in hand, mitigation strategies ?

Firefox 24 Beta 10 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904784
- Still able to reproduce (with a little more effort required this time around) bug http://bugzil.la/904784 on mozilla-beta and mozilla-aurora; mail sent to release-management and commented in bug
- (Aaron) Working with Randell testing out a failsafe option and an upstream uplift
- https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=686e87689507 & https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=36f3fdb22427
- The upstream deadlock fix as tested in the Try build above seems to fix this entirely for me
- (Aaron) What are our options here?
- Ship as is with current frequency (1/8?)
- Respin a beta with the upstream patch (this is what maire and jesup recommend)
- Theory from Jesup: patch from Bug 899159 is the difference between mc and mb behavior
- Also, "upstream patch" and has been reviewed by Google
- Nightly updates have been broken for 4 days - 913842 - Resolved fixed https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?rev=e5ca10a2b3d0 Could use a respin
