No I was not passing the same native display earlier when I was
getting the error. I was calling XOpenDisplay(NULL) and passing the
returned x_display to eglGetDisplay() for the other context as well.
Once I fixed this part that instead of calling XOpenDisplay again I
simply passed the same native display to eglGetDisplay and it returned
me the same eglDisplay. So from your quote from EGL Specs, it seems
there is no bug in Mesa, the contexts which need to share objects
needs to have the same eglDisplays.

Thanks for clarifying,
