[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/3] Removing unnecessary flushes in Gallium

Hi,

I have reviewed where we call flush() and why and some of them
seem unnecessary to me. Those flushes may slightly decrease
performance, depending on each driver, and may hide driver bugs.

glFlush doesn't have to be called in OpenGL so often, and
I think state trackers should follow suit.

The worst example of this is st/vega. I guess those flushes are
there for debugging only.

Please review.
