40 // Instantiated per RenderProcessHost to provide various optimizations on
41 // behalf of a RenderWidgetHost. This class bridges between the IO thread
42 // where the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter lives and the UI thread where
43 // the RenderWidgetHost lives.
46 // OPTIMIZED RESIZE
48 // RenderWidgetHelper is used to implement optimized resize. When the
49 // RenderWidgetHost is resized, it sends a Resize message to its RenderWidget
50 // counterpart in the renderer process. In response to the Resize message,
51 // the RenderWidget generates a new BackingStore and sends an UpdateRect
52 // message (or BuffersSwapped via the GPU process in the case of accelerated
53 // compositing), and it sets the IS_RESIZE_ACK flag in the UpdateRect message
54 // to true. In the accelerated case, an UpdateRect is still sent from the
55 // renderer to the browser with acks and plugin moves even though the GPU
56 // BackingStore was sent earlier in the BuffersSwapped message. "BackingStore
57 // message" is used throughout this code and documentation to mean either a
58 // software UpdateRect or GPU BuffersSwapped message.
60 // Back in the browser process, when the RenderProcessHost's MessageFilter
61 // sees an UpdateRect message (or when the GpuProcessHost sees a
62 // BuffersSwapped message), it directs it to the RenderWidgetHelper by calling
63 // the DidReceiveBackingStoreMsg method. That method stores the data for the
64 // message in a map, where it can be directly accessed by the RenderWidgetHost
65 // on the UI thread during a call to RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore
66 // method.
68 // When the RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it first
69 // checks to see if it is waiting for a resize ack. If it is, then it calls
70 // the RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg to check if there is
71 // already a resulting BackingStore message (or to wait a short amount of time
72 // for one to arrive). The main goal of this mechanism is to short-cut the
73 // usual way in which IPC messages are proxied over to the UI thread via
74 // InvokeLater. This approach is necessary since window resize is followed up
75 // immediately by a request to repaint the window.
78 // OPTIMIZED TAB SWITCHING
80 // When a RenderWidgetHost is in a background tab, it is flagged as hidden.
81 // This causes the corresponding RenderWidget to stop sending BackingStore
82 // messages. The RenderWidgetHost also discards its backingstore when it is
83 // hidden, which helps free up memory. As a result, when a RenderWidgetHost
84 // is restored, it can be momentarily be without a backingstore. (Restoring
85 // a RenderWidgetHost results in a WasShown message being sent to the
86 // RenderWidget, which triggers a full BackingStore message.) This can lead
87 // to an observed rendering glitch as the WebContentsImpl will just have to
88 // fill white overtop the RenderWidgetHost until the RenderWidgetHost
89 // receives a BackingStore message to refresh its backingstore.
91 // To avoid this 'white flash', the RenderWidgetHost again makes use of the
92 // RenderWidgetHelper's WaitForBackingStoreMsg method. When the
93 // RenderWidgetHost's GetBackingStore method is called, it will call
94 // WaitForBackingStoreMsg if it has no backingstore.
96 // TRANSPORT DIB CREATION
98 // On some platforms (currently the Mac) the renderer cannot create transport
99 // DIBs because of sandbox limitations. Thus, it has to make synchronous IPCs
100 // to the browser for them. Since these requests are synchronous, they cannot
101 // terminate on the UI thread. Thus, in this case, this object performs the
102 // allocation and maintains the set of allocated transport DIBs which the
103 // renderers can refer to.
