+        AX: Do less work under m_changeLogLock in AXIsolatedTree::clear and AXIsolatedTree::setFocusedNodeID
+        https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235624
+
+        Reviewed by Chris Fleizach.
+
+        AXIsolatedTree::clear and AXIsolatedTree::setFocusedNodeID
+        do work while holding m_changeLogLock that does not require this lock. This
+        patch moves this work before the lock acquisition so we hold the lock for as short
+        a time as possible.
+
+        * accessibility/isolatedtree/AXIsolatedTree.cpp:
+        (WebCore::AXIsolatedTree::clear):
+        (WebCore::AXIsolatedTree::setFocusedNodeID):
+        Move work that doesn't require m_changeLogLock before we acquire the lock.
