[Xcb] [Socket handoff] Waiting forever...

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi,

I am using the new socket-handoff functionality to mix protocoll
generated by XLib and some self-written protocol.
I am experiencing strange problems, where XCB seems to wait forever on
the server - like the stack-traces illustrate at the end of the email.

This seems to happen only sporadically, but it seems that workloads
with fewer larger requests (like many 32x32x8 putimages) more often.
I was able to find a reliable testcase which does 100000
putimage+composition. With only 10000 everything seems to work as
expected.
My output-buffer is 32k, so flushes happen quite often in both cases.
I have seen such behaviour previously when I sent misformated protocol
to the server, however this time it works 10000 times, but not 100000
- although I write exactly the same commands to the buffer again and
again.

I spent a lot of time trying to hunt this problem down, but no luck so far :-/
Any ideas what could be wrong, or how I could debug the problem?

Thank you in advance and a happy new year, Clemens
