[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] Mesa (master): egl/wayland: Replace wl_display_dispatch_queue with wl_display_roundtrip_queue

From: Kai Chen <kai.chen at intel.com>
In function get_back_bo, wl_display_dispatch_queue is used to block on
the server to release one buffer. But it seems this function will block
client as well during polling. Because in some scenarios, such as when
surfaces are moved frequently between two displays under weston
compositor, the screen update will stall frequently and the performance
will drop.
wl_display_roundtrip_queue actually calls into
wl_display_dispatch_queue. But it blocks until the server has processed
all currently issued requests by sending a request first to the display
server and then waiting for a reply. In this way, it seems the client is
not blocked and in the test scenario case above, the performance seems
obviously not to be impacted.
