In a debug build, a worker that runs out of heap inside console.log can leave its thread deadlocked for good: the parent still gets the heap-limit error, but the worker never finishes terminating.
WorkerWrapper::ConsoleLog holds inspectorMutex_ across WorkerInspectorClient::consoleLog, which allocates on the worker heap: it captures a stack trace, and building the message text converts the arguments, which can run getters. When an allocation there reaches the worker's limit, V8 runs OnNearHeapLimit synchronously on the same thread, which calls Terminate(), which takes inspectorMutex_ again to notify the inspector. The mutex is not recursive, so the thread blocks on itself. This holds while no DevTools session has enabled the Debugger domain; once one has, V8 calls its own near-heap-limit callback instead of the worker's. inspectorMutex_ is a std::recursive_mutex now: the same thread re-enters, and every other thread is excluded as before. Releasing the mutex across consoleLog instead would not be safe, because a worker callback run through __runOnMainThread logs from the main thread while the worker thread can delete the client.
With OnNearHeapLimit called at that point by hand, the worker thread on main stays blocked in Terminate() under ConsoleLog, and with this change it finishes terminating. The only difference a spec could observe is a thread that never finishes, so there is none. The full device suite passes.
Summary by CodeRabbit
- Bug Fixes
- Workers remain responsive when logging an object triggers additional logging during formatting.
- Improved reliability of worker termination and inspector operations during nested console logging.
- Tests
- Added coverage for nested logging in workers, including verification that the worker can continue running afterward.
Sorry, something went wrong.

…rom console.log
A worker's console.log holds inspectorMutex_ across the inspector's consoleLog, which captures a stack trace and so allocates. When that allocation hits the worker's heap cap, the near-heap-limit callback calls Terminate(), which takes the same non-recursive mutex on the same thread and deadlocks the worker. The mutex is recursive now, so that re-entry proceeds while other threads stay excluded as before.

Walkthrough
-
The inspector mutex changes from std::mutex to std::recursive_mutex. A worker test exercises nested logging during object formatting and checks that the worker remains responsive.
Changes: Inspector Lock
| Layer / File(s) |
Summary |
Recursive inspector lock and caller documentation test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/WorkerWrapper.h, test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/WorkerWrapper.cpp, test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/JsV8InspectorClient.cpp, test-app/runtime/src/main/cpp/WorkerInspectorClient.h |
inspectorMutex_ changes to std::recursive_mutex. Terminate, CreateInspector, DestroyInspector, and ConsoleLog use the lock. The comments state that console logging may run on the thread holding the worker isolate’s Locker, including the main thread under __runOnMainThread. |
Nested console regression test test-app/app/src/main/assets/app/tests/workerNestedConsoleWorker.js, test-app/app/src/main/assets/app/tests/testWorkerNestedConsole.js, test-app/app/src/main/assets/app/mainpage.js |
The worker logs an object whose Symbol.toStringTag getter logs "nested", then posts "alive". The test waits for that message before terminating the worker. The app loads the test module. |
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

The change lets a worker terminate re-enter the inspector lock, which should fix the console.log deadlock. The new test's error handler uses an unsupported callback method, so a worker error would surface as a TypeError instead of a clean test failure. Fix this small test issue; otherwise the change looks safe to merge.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the fix lets a heap-limit terminate re-enter the inspector lock when console.log runs. The raw summary says inspectorMutex_ changes from std::mutex to std::recursive_mutex across the worker termination, inspector creation/destruction, and console logging paths. The objectives explain that V8's OnNearHeapLimit calls Terminate() and re-enters the lock on the same thread, which would self-deadlock with a non-recursive mutex. The title therefore matches the core change. It is 84 characters, slightly over the short-title ideal, but still clear and specific.

…y it re-enters
console.* reaches WorkerWrapper::ConsoleLog from the main thread too, when a
worker callback runs there through __runOnMainThread, and argument
stringification inside consoleLog can run a nested console call on the same
thread.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Replace the unsupported done.fail call.
If the worker emits an error, this handler throws TypeError instead of recording the worker failure and completing the spec.

Based on learnings, this test app pins Jasmine 2.0.1, whose done callback has no fail property.

Review comment at @test-app/app/src/main/assets/app/tests/testWorkerNestedConsole.js at line 12:
Replace the unsupported done.fail call in the worker error handler with a Jasmine 2.0.1-compatible assertion that records the emitted error as a spec failure, then invoke done() so the asynchronous spec completes.

Reviewed and verified. Pushed: comment fixes (the inspector lock is also taken from the main thread under _runOnMainThread, and argument stringification can re-enter it), plus a spec for a console call nested in argument formatting. That spec fails (times out) with inspectorMutex as std::mutex and passes with this change. Full device suite passes on main + #2067 + #2070 + #2069 (1545 specs, 0 failures, 3 runs).
