If all the sync points were signaled in both fences a and b, there was only one sync point in merged fence which is a_fence[0]. The Fence structure in android framework might be confused about timestamp if there were any sync points which were signaled after a_fence[0]. It might be more reasonable to use timestamp of last signaled sync point to represent the merged fence. The issue can be found from EGL extension ANDROID_get_frame_timestamps. Sometimes the return value of EGL_READS_DONE_TIME_ANDROID is head of the return value of EGL_RENDERING_COMPLETE_TIME_ANDROID. That means display/composition had been completed before rendering was completed that is incorrect.
