Attachments: small EGL program to produce BadDrawable error

Description nobled 2011-01-31 06:05:34 UTC
(I'm running on Ubuntu 10.04 x86-32 with mesa from the 7.10 Natty package, just for the record - but this bug is also in git and older versions.)

In src/glx/glx_pbuffer.c, CreateDRIDrawable can fail, in which case it prints "failed to create drawable", but the caller has no way of knowing that it failed at all and just keeps going.

Whenever I called eglCreatePbuffer, "failed to create drawable" gets printed (not sure why - because Ubuntu 10.04 has a slightly older X server?), but I got a seemingly valid EGLSurface anyway. And when I tried to use it in eglMakeCurrent(), I get a mysterious segfault:

Breakpoint 4, GLX_eglMakeCurrent (drv=0x80ec2e0, disp=0x80eb680, 
    dsurf=0x8164370, rsurf=0x8164370, ctx=0x816ed10) at egl_glx.c:738
(gdb) next
(...)
760	      ret = GLX_drv->glXMakeCurrent(GLX_dpy->dpy, ddraw, cctx);
(gdb) next

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

It looks like the same problem is also in glxcmds.c:glXCreateGLXPixmap (it returns the same xid whether or not driScreen->createDrawable() returned null)
Comment 2 nobled 2011-01-31 16:50:38 UTC
Okay, with debug symbols now the backtrace is:

XGetVisualInfo() returned null, and that doesn't get checked for.

This patch by ajax back in May seems relevant, BTW. I'll test it (and Chad's patches) when I get a chance.

Comment 4 nobled 2011-06-27 12:53:00 UTC
Good news and bad news.

Good news: I tested in an Ubuntu Maverick chroot, and I can't reproduce the segfault -- maybe it was fixed in Xlib? (In Lucid, libX11 is version 1.3.2; in Maverick, it's 1.3.3) Now, instead of silently segfaulting, it seems to call exit(1) after giving a much more informative printout. Which is a *very slight* improvement:

(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  drisw_bind_context (context=0x80690b0, old=0x4871e0, 
    draw=106954753, read=106954753) at drisw_glx.c:267
X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  55 (X_CreateGC)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x6600001
  Serial number of failed request:  26
  Current serial number in output stream:  28

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb) quit

Bad news is, ajax's patch no longer applies cleanly to master <773556e0f537eba82d9d68d618e229140f413620>, and I tested both of Chad's patches and the bug still happens.

I'll attach a reduced testcase.

small EGL program to produce BadDrawable error


(Unrelatedly, I had to workaround another bug in the egl_glx driver by commenting out the EGL_RENDERABLE_TYPE line: otherwise, it failed to create the EGLSurface at all because it didn't recognize it: "libEGL warning: bad surface attribute 0x3040")
