[Mesa-dev] [RFC 0/2] Disable glthread is libX11 isn't thread-safe

[Gregory Hainaut]

Hello,

Following the discussion from
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2017-April/153137.html

A check was added to ensure that X11 display can be locked. It should be enough
to ensure thread safety between X11 and glthread.

I also did the check on DRI3 as I'm not 100% sure that it is really thread safe.

EGL case is more tricky so the pair (X11/libX11) is marked as unsafe.
I think it is fine because modern EGL application should rely on XCB (on the X11
platform).

Best regards,
Gregory Hainaut (2):
  glx|egl: allow to test if glthread is safe enough on X11 platform
  glthread/gallium: require safe_glthread to start glthread
