Hi,
XPutImage requires to copy the images around, and the request may be
split over several chunks. Using XShm should improve performance.
In particular, the performances are bad when using gnome-shell with
Spice and playing video. Chunking the update confuses the video
detection heuristic: unfortunately it's not easy to change it without
breaking further other cases. Making one big request per video frames
solves most of the issues.
Changes since RFC:
- fix shm leaks
- check XShm error only
- fallbacks on regular XPutImage after xshm failure
- remove unnecessary XFlush call
- tested and fixed with 16bpp visuals
- split patch for easier review
Marc-André Lureau (4):
dri: add putImageShm to swrastLoader
drisw: use putImageShm if available
drisw: use shared memory when possible
drisw/glx: use XShm if possible
