[Mesa-dev] SandyBridge issue likely related to fast color clears using meta operations

Hello,
Two weeks ago, Iago and myself sent a batch of patches that added
geometry shader support for SandyBridge [0].
Recently, we rebased our patches against master [1] and found
that some things are not working properly any more. Particularly, we
have plenty of cases where we only get a black screen when using a
geometry shader, and in these cases it seems as if some outputs of the
geometry shader got "lost" by the time they become inputs in the
fragment shader (some input varyings in the fragment shader that come
from the outputs of the geometry seem to be zeroed). The values we
output in the geometry shader are correct though, since they are
correctly captured by transform feedback.
A bisect shows that the commit that introduced this problem is
2f28a0dc231 i965: Implement fast color clears using meta operations [2].
Reverting this commit fixes the problem for us. The revert also fixes
piglit's bin/gl-3.2-layered-rendering-clear-color* tests in SandyBridge
[3].
So the question is whether the commit mentioned above introduces a
regression that should be fixed somewhere or if our code needs to be
updated to adapt to changes introduced by that commit in some way.
Best regards,
Sam

i965: Implement fast color clears using meta operations
This patch uses the infrastructure put in place by previous patches
to implement fast color clears and replicated color clears in terms
of meta operations.
This works all the way back to gen7 where fast clear was introduced
and adds support for fast clear on gen8. It replaces the blorp path
completely and improves on a few cases. Layered clears are now done
using instanced rendering and multiple render-target clears use a
MRT shader with rep16 writes.
