[Mesa-dev] [Freedreno] WebProcess crash on DB410c

[Rob Clark]

btw, where exactly is it crashing?  I grabbed the WebKitForWayland
tree.. if I'm looking at the right thing, the only place where it
should try to create a pbuffer is in
Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/egl/GLContextEGL.cpp and that looks
like it should only be a fallback after createWaylandContext() fails??

I suspect pbuffer is not the root problem, that looks like a fallback
path that shouldn't be hit..

BR,
