           Summary: Need a way to test for race conditions in code like
                    LocalStorage's import
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jorlow at chromium.org


We need a way to test for race conditions in code like LocalStorage's import.

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26629 is tracking some changes that
(among other things) correct some races I've found, but we really need a way to
reliably verify we're doing the right thing.

This is somewhat related to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26171 which
is also about needing better ways to test stuff (though that bug doesn't have
to do with multi-threaded code).

This is on my long-term radar.
