Ok, quick update on state of explicit fence fd's / EGL_ANDROID_native_fence_sync: For folks working on other drivers wishing to add support, we don't have a "real" userspace yet. But Gustavo has added atomic support to kmscube (as well as all of his work for in/out fences in atomic ioctl, plus destaging sync-file stuff, etc). On top of that I have hacked up support for using fence fd's (via EGL_ANDROID_native_fence_sync plus atomic in/out fence support in libdrm+kernel) rather than pageflip events to synchronize rendering and kms. This should give some reasonable toy code for other folks working on other driver support to get started: https://github.com/robclark/kmscube/commits/atomic-fence The core and egl mesa patches are largely unchanged, other than a small addition of wiring up fence extension for gbm/drm. The gallium bits have gotten a bit simpler thanks to Marek's deferred-flush changes (although I haven't had a chance to add deferred-flush support in freedreno yet, so do your eglWaitSyncKHR() calls right before eglSwapBuffers() if you don't want perf to suck). I have also wired up freedreno support and Gustavo has started on virgl support.. it would be interesting to see some more drivers added to the mix. Anyways, what I have so far is here: https://github.com/freedreno/mesa/commits/wip-fence This and kmscube bits also depends on some libdrm changes here: https://github.com/freedreno/libdrm/commits/fences With all these bits, the (relatively trivial) kmscube is working, and not even leaking fd's or tearing or anything ;-) I think for the kms atomic/fence bits, the consensus is that we need a real userspace to get them merged. Which we are still waiting on. I think on the gpu side (mesa + libdrm_$drivername + submit/execbuf/etc ioctl bits on kernel side) the main thing we need is piglit tests. (Last time I checked, android/dEQP did not have any real tests for the ANDROID_native_fence_sync extension, other than perhaps checking that the driver advertised it.. which isn't really a test at all :-/). I'm not really sure how much bandwidth I'll have to work on this in the near future, so if some other interested party wants to step up and write some piglit tests, that would be great. Otherwise, at least for now the above kernel/libdrm/mesa/kmscube branches should give anyone else working on their drivers all the bits they need to get started on fence-fd support.
