[Bug 1480877] Re: Access points' "PropertiesChanged" dbus signals freeze UI on mobile devices

 

Just a quick update on my debugging.

I've verified that the NM bearer plugin's qnetworkmanagerengine class is
receiving the 'AccessPointRemoved', is matching them correctly in it's
saved list, and is called delete on the
QNetworkManagerInterfaceAccessPoint instance.  The associated destructor
is called, and my new disconnect() method is called, which succeeds.

All that aside, the rules are still piling up, so something else is
wrong.  I took a quick look at the DBusConnection code, and it looks
like the signal matches are reference counted, so it's possible that the
count is never reaching zero, so the rule isn't actually released...  (
see qdbusconnection.cpp and qdbusintegrator.cpp ).

Bug description:
  Krillin, rc-proposed, r83

  
  DESCRIPTION:
  I've been trying to track down the cause of the occasional UI freezes on my Krillin device, and I noticed that whenever the UI freezes for 2-4 seconds, I get a burst of "PropertiesChanged" signals in dbus-monitor

  Here's a log of what's shown in dbus-monitor:
  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11992322/

  I'd guess the problem is in the code that actually catches the signals
  and acts accordingly.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE: 
  1) Move to a place where many wifi hotspots are available
  2) Connect the device via USB and run "phablet-shell" and then "dbus-monitor"
  3) Use the device while keeping an eye on dbus-monitor output
