Summary
This PR fixes a deadlock that occurs in
ReactInstanceWin::DetachRootViewwhen called from the UI thread while the JS thread is waiting for UI operations to complete.Problem
The deadlock occurs in the following scenario:
ReactRootView::UninitRootView()ReactInstanceWin::DetachRootView()DetachRootViewmakes a synchronous call to the JS thread:m_jsMessageThread.Load()->runOnQueueSync([]() {})Call Stack from Issue:
Solution
The fix follows the same pattern used in
MessageQueueThreadImpl::runOnQueueSync()which checks if it's already executing on the target thread before making synchronous calls.Key Changes:
HasThreadAccess()before callingrunOnQueueSyncMessageQueueThreadimplementations by preserving original behavior for non-MessageDispatchQueuetypesTesting
This defensive approach prevents the deadlock while maintaining the original cleanup semantics for scenarios where the synchronous call is actually needed.
Fixes #15109.
