[Mesa-dev] llvmpipe not supporting EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import ?

[Christian König]

Well I'm not an expert on llvmpipe, but as far as I know that's a 
general problem.

DMA-buf is used by the Linux kernel drivers to pass hardware bufefrs 
between processes and drivers.

Since llvmpipe as a software renderer it has no kernel driver, so there 
is no easy way to implement that.

What could work is to use dma-buf-heaps as general allocation interface 
for llvmpipe or other software rendereres.

Regards,
Christian.
