[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] gallium/docs: clarify that samplers are not used with PIPE_BUFFER resources

[Brian Paul]

Commit 8aba778fa2cd98a0b5a7429d3c5057778a0c808c "st/mesa: don't set
sampler states for TBOs" changed how texture buffer objects are handled.
Document the new convention.

+Samplers
+^^^^^^^^
+
+pipe_sampler_state objects control how textures are sampled (coordinate
+wrap modes, interpolation modes, etc).  Note that samplers are not used
+for texture buffer objects.  That is, pipe_context::bind_sampler_views()
+will not bind a sampler if the corresponding sampler view refers to a
+PIPE_BUFFER resource.
