stacktrace

This is a copy of ubuntu bug 1797882. It should be directly submitted to mesa.

Using ubuntu 18.10 wayland with dual monitors, configured above each other.
Dock is configured at both displays, not hiding.
Icons for "terminal" and "libreofffice Writer" are present at the dock.

Start terminal on primary screen by mouseclick on dock.
Start libreoffice Writer on primary screen by mouseclick on dock.
Terminate libreoffice Witer by mouseclick on X.
Repeat the starting and stopping of Writer.

Login-screen will appear. Syslog shows:
Oct 15 00:09:51 Gert2 org.gnome.Shell.desktop[5892]: intel_do_flush_locked
failed: Resource deadlock avoided
Oct 15 00:09:51 Gert2 gnome-terminal-[6439]: Error reading events from display:
Connection reset by peer
Oct 15 00:09:51 Gert2 systemd[5755]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Main
process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

This problem doesnot occur in a dual monitor-session without wayland.
It also doesnot occur, if only one monitor used with wayland
It also doesnot occur, if the dock is only present at the primary screen.
It also doesnot occur if second started application is present at the dock and
doesnot add an icon to the dock (as libreoffice does).

All other dual monitor/dock configurations seem to have this problem.

No idea if this is helpful info, but the used graphics card does not support
OpenGL version 2.1:

Extra info:

Without solving this problem, wayland cannot be used after logon, when using
dual monitor. The sesssion stops very easy and often. Work is lost; you have to
logon again. E.g. the simple switching between 2 overlapping windows causes the
end of the session.

I changed src/mesa/drivers/dri/i915/intel_batchbuffer.c to force a coredump in
this case. The stacktrace is added to this bug-report.
Linenumbers might deviate a little bit because of extra coding of tracing.
The deadlock always occurs at cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers calling cogl_flush(),
at the first journal-batch-flush for the offscreen-framebuffer.

The deadlock disappeared as soon as cogl is compiled with disabled batching!
To minimize this disabling of batching, I made a very dirty but working patch,
which is attached to this bug.
At program clutter_stage_cogl_redraw_view routine paint_stage is called for the
"Unclipped stage paint".
This call is manipulated to flush immedately the first journal-entry of the
default onscreen framebuffer.
This is done by misusing and changing program cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport and
by changing _cogl_journal_flush.
Apparenly this early flushing causes a lock to be set which avoids the
deadlock.

I do not know how to see which locks are held and by which process, so I cannot
solve the root-cause of the problem, but I assume some extra lock must be set
in this case to avoid deadlock.

With this dirty patch combined with other suggested (simple) patches at
#1790525, #1795774 and #1795760 wayland can be run without any problems on dual
monitor and "old" intel graphic card.
It performs better than lightdm, specially if the monitors are positioned aside
of each other.
