[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/3] ddx/dri2: Make triple-buffering compatible with timestamping on Xorg 1.12+

Sun Oct 7 08:38:08 CEST 2012


This patch adds support for OML_sync_control compliant pageflip
completion timestamping while triple-buffering is enabled and
the ddx is running on Xorg server 1.12 or later.

It makes use of the DRI2SwapLimit api to allow up to two
pending flips without throttling of the client, then defers
invocation of DRI2SwapComplete() until the corresponding
pageflips actually complete, just as in the double-buffering case,
allowing for proper timestamping and glXWaitForSbcOML() behaviour.
This should not impact triple-buffering performance.

On server versions <= 1.11 without swaplimit api, triple-buffering
is achieved by sacrificing OML_sync_control compliance, as in the
old implementation.

Tested against server without swaplimit api and 1.13 with swaplimit
api, both with and without triplebuffering enabled.
