[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] i965: Share the workaround bo between all contexts

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Thu Jan 26 10:58:58 UTC 2017


Since the workaround bo is used strictly as a write-only buffer, we need
only allocate one per screen and use the same one from all contexts.

(The caveat here is during extension initialisation, where we write into
and read back register values from the buffer, but that is performed only
once for the first context - and baring synchronisation issues should not
be a problem. Safer would be to move that also to the screen.)

v2: Give the workaround bo its own init function and don't piggy back
intel_bufmgr_init() since it is not that related.

v3: Drop the reference count of the workaround bo for the context since
the context itself is owned by the screen (and so we can rely on the bo
existing for the lifetime of the context).
