Comment 7 Eric Anholt 2013-09-30 23:33:02 UTC
This app is doing context sharing between multiple xlib Displays, which is crazy.  We don't support that.  If we were to support that, we would need some even-more-global structure than the per-Display intel_screen in which to store things like the bufmgr.
Comment 8 Sven Gothel 2013-10-30 23:07:03 UTC
Re comment 7: Eric, how else can one achieve non-blocking rendering w/ I/O,
if not using exclusive X11 display connections for multiple shared GL context and X11 events ?

Using one X11 display connection for the many shared context, one would need to add
synchronization for the X11 display commands, which is bogus.
For JOGL, we explicitly use exclusive display connections to achieve block-free multithreading.

We would love to see this fixed to enable shared GL context in a concurrent use-case,
since it is essential to many applications of our user base.

Note: The described mechanism works flawless on all other OpenGL driver implementations,
including other Mesa backends, as well with NV and AMD proprietary drivers.

Further more, the spec does not disclose such scenario, as long the display connection
references the 'same' display.

Comment 10 org.freedesktop 2013-10-30 23:34:15 UTC
I can attest that this problem would essentially cripple my software on Intel
GPUs.

I've worked hard to ensure that the rendering code works on every OpenGL
context I can find, but the engine itself is heavily dependent on being able
to constantly stream resources in a manner that won't block the main renderer.

Without the ability to do this, I'm essentially left with the option of not supporting Intel, which would be silly!
Comment 11 Sven Gothel 2013-10-31 00:18:45 UTC
RE: comment 7: Eric, maybe you can store these buffer details
in a storage space accessible via a [hash] map on the unique X11 display connection name.

This is one way how we (JOGL) mitigate other issues and cache unique details regarding
the display device as referenced by multiple connections.

Sort of a display-local-storage, similar to TLS. Since I don't know Mesa's or DRM's infrastructure
I don't know whether such thing already exists.
Comment 12 Sven Gothel 2013-10-31 00:19:49 UTC
re comment 11: .. maybe only as a slow path, if you cannot find the reference locally .. where you exit w/ said error message.
Comment 13 Harvey Harrison 2014-01-26 06:19:37 UTC
I'm curious if there has been any movement on this issue.  I've gotten a few reports of this now from external users and all I can tell them is that we do not support the linux Intel driver at this time.

We require the shared context as we load all of our resources async into a master context, trying not to block the individual display rendering while we do so.
Comment 14 Elvis Stansvik 2015-05-22 16:18:18 UTC
I'm curious as well. I'm hitting this issue when trying to run BricsCAD, a proprietary CAD software, on my Lenovo X220.

My environment:
OSD: ArchLinux x86_64
Libdrm: 2.4.61-1
Mesa: 10.5.5-1
Xserver: 1.17.1-5
xf86-video-intel: 2.99.917-5

How come this is marked as low importance?

Same on different laptop.

This was a bug in the bug, fixed.
Comment 16 Andreas Reis 2015-08-31 16:15:32 UTC
Got the same issue on my HSW 4200U since only a few days. Hitting it with Steam and Chromium – seems one of them runs fine, then the next one fails. 

Chrome just falls back to software rendering for everything, Steam aborts with "intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument".

This is a completely different problem. The original ENOENT is likely a very old bug in mesa or libdrm (for example not tracking name reuse). EINVAL is new, and I presume a cmdparser failure, so please file a new bug with a minimal example and the dmesg, you may need to use drm.debug=7.
