Screenshot illustrating problem

The git snapshots from the past couple of days cause a problem in Google Chrome related to Flash, where pages with flash embedded are rendered incorrectly. I attached a screenshot to illustrate. Running Chrome with --disable-accelerated-compositing works, although there's just a black screen on flash videos. My hardware is Ivybridge. I have SNA enabled and no xorg.conf file, so defaults otherwise.
Comment 1 Christoph Haag 2014-01-25 23:20:56 UTC
Another ivy bridge user here.

If you go to about:flags and enable the #ignore-gpu-blacklist and then enable #force-compositing-mode-2 for all websites, all websites will be broken in this way.
Just saying it's not just flash.

The easy remedy is not ignoring the gpu blacklist for now. :)

It's in chromium 32 and chrome 34.

In firefox nightly everything works as far as I have seen including webgl stuff.

So it's rather specific to whatever chromium does.
Comment 2 Dmitry Pashkevich 2014-01-26 11:53:09 UTC
I can confirm that, and the issue is still there in the latest snapshots
Comment 3 Victor 2014-01-26 20:22:44 UTC
I also confirmed this issue on two laptops, with Ivy Bridge and i965 graphics.
Comment 4 Matt Turner 2014-01-26 23:27:09 UTC
I have a feeling that I caused this with commit b2d1c579bb84a88179072a6a783f8827e218db55. I'll investigate.
Comment 5 Matt Turner 2014-01-27 02:15:58 UTC
Could you try these two patches?

chromium: ignore gpu blacklist and active compositing on all websites

The two patches from comment #5 do not seem to help for me.

But do we even talk about the same problem?

Shaders don't seem to fail to compile, at least as far as I have seen. Is there anything that would help you figure this out like MESA_GLSL=dump?
Comment 7 Mike Lothian 2014-01-27 14:57:09 UTC
I can confirm this bug on Sandybridge with SNA enabled (I'll try UXA and Glamor tonight) it doesn't show up when I use DRI_PRIME=1 on my r600g card if that provides any clues

Spotify desktop client rendering

Getting similar distortion as shown in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=92854

In addition to Chrome and Chromium there's also parts of Spotify linux client that is affected with a similar distortion (attached screenshot). Started after updating a few days ago.

I got Chrome fixed by disabling "Use hardware acceleration when available" but no way to tell that to Spotify.

Firefox with default settings works alright, not sure about its accel settings..

i965 graphics (Intel HD3000).
Lenovo T520. Ubuntu running xmonad, kernel 3.12.0-031200-generic.

Not sure if it's helping but here's glxinfo | grep -i opengl

Yeah, MESA_GLSL=dump would probably be useful.
Comment 11 roberth 2014-01-27 21:04:58 UTC
last good mesa version i built was git20140117.1c5e2965, first bad one was git20140124.43e77215, i didn't build anything between the two unfortunately. I'll add that patch to the PPA now

google chrome shader dump

Here is another one, google chrome unstable starting up to the landing page or whatever it is which has the problem too.

This is with the latest patch from comment #10. It did sadly not help with the distortion, still there.

Thanks for finding out a close good mesa version, I'll see whether bisecting does result in the commit Matt Turner thought may caused it.

I created it with
MESA_GLSL=dump google-chrome-unstable > MESA_GLSL=dump_google-chrome-unstable
because with MESA_GLSL=log it says "Unable to open shader_1.vert for writing" for some reason. On the same system with radeonsi (DRI_PRIME=1) it can write the shaders. Strange. Might be another bug?
Comment 14 Christoph Haag 2014-01-27 22:27:48 UTC
git bisect says 

4bd6e0d7c69b304be88996a6c2b96ce7d996e627 is the first bad commit
Comment 15 roberth 2014-01-27 22:35:38 UTC
narrowed it down a bit more, git20140121.ff59b3d9 was good
Comment 16 roberth 2014-01-27 22:36:04 UTC
Ahh didn't see it was bisected already, sorry for the noise!

If the shaders have flow-control, see bug #74113.  See also bug #73954.
Comment 18 Matt Turner 2014-01-27 22:56:45 UTC
Let's try this too: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/18743/
Comment 19 roberth 2014-01-27 23:01:13 UTC
Winner! The combo of the two does seem to work.
