Obviously I didn't spot this in my testing, but the reason for it being a large patch set is to make bisection much easier...

Found some under ut2004-demo, bisected to

    intel: Fix insufficient integer width for upload buffer offset
    
    I was being overly miserly and gave the offset of the buffer into the bo
    insufficient bits, distracted by the adjacency of the buffer[4096].

Does it do the trick for your wine apps?

The latest patch solves some of the corruption issues I was seeing with flightgear. However several issues still remain there and also in celestia.

In flightgear, with the standard Cessna c172p model, the normally semi-transparent spinning propeller disk is now opaque, and there are also some artefacts around solid objects.

In celestia, when zooming in on e.g. Jupiter or Saturn, at a close enough distance random coloured triangles start to flash.

Not exactly. In fact I don't see any change to the errors with your patch.

I also went back to 8a9e67b8df9836408270a4bc3660ec45b622ae56 and checked there. I still get corruptions with this specific commit, but they're kinda small compared to the current state. Only some 'spiked' polygons here and there in Max Payne 2. FEAR is more affected, but it still looks better than with git master tip.

Going to check if applying 5a1fbf0f70a1c2d444f61494f86e26ca866c31d5 on top of 8a9e67b8df9836408270a4bc3660ec45b622ae56 is removing these 'minor' issues.

So probably we're seeing a multitude of separate issues here.

This worked, the visuals are back to how they were before the patchset.

So the remaining problems are between f29606598e7703d830440a878673d98e7ce13218 and 41260a9bf63aa61f88f188053f1ed4dba3a852d2.

The massive corruptions I noticed are introduced by this commit:

Subject: intel: extend current vertex buffers

If the next vertex arrays are a (discontiguous) continuation of the
current arrays, such that the new vertices are simply offset from the
start of the current vertex buffer definitions we can reuse those
defintions and avoid the overhead of relocations and invalidations.

Thanks Tobias, Eric just found a simple reproducer for it.

Thanks Chris! Thanks Eric!

Looks like this commit fixed at least the render corruptions:

Subject: i965: Fix VB packet reuse when offset for the new buffer isn't stride aligned.

Fixes regression in scissor-stencil-clear and 5 other tests.

I'm still getting the crash in Splinter Cell, but maybe that's unrelated. Going to do some more tests. If it turns out that the patchset introduces another problem, I'm going to open a new bug for that. For now this one looks FIXED!
