[Spice-devel] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 10/12] spice/gl: create dummy primary surface (RfC)

  Hi,

Resuming to work on this after 2.6 freeze break ...

Hmm, that is sort-of intentional.  It's valid for scanouts to not be
backed by a resource, and in that case qemu_spice_gl_scanout() calls
spice_qxl_gl_scanout() with fd=-1.

So, what do you think we should do here?  Fix spice to handle that case?
Should qemu do something else instead?  Such as not calling
spice_qxl_gl_scanout() to keep the previous dma-buf alive?

cheers,
  Gerd
