This functionality was added by libdrm commit 743af59669386cb6e063fa4bd85f0a0b2da86295 (intel: make bufmgr_gem shareable from different API) in an attempt to solve libva/mesa buffer sharing problems. Specifically, this was working around an issue hit by Chromium, which used the same drm_fd for multiple APIs, and shared buffers between them. This code attempted to work around that issue by using the same bufmgr for both libva and Mesa. It worked because libdrm_intel was loaded by both libraries. However, now that Mesa has forked, we don't have a common library, and this code cannot work. The correct solution is to have each API open its own file descriptor (and get a corresponding buffer manager), and then use PRIME export and import to share BOs across those APIs. Then the kernel can manage those shared resources. According to Chris, the kernel will pass back the same handle for a prime FD if the lookup is from the same device FD. We believe Chromium has since moved to this model. In Mesa, there is already only one screen per FD, and so there will only be one bufmgr per FD. We don't need any of this code. v2: Add a big warning comment written by Chris Wilson. Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Acked-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> |

docs/README.WIN32
File: docs/README.WIN32 Last updated: 21 June 2013 Quick Start ----- ----- Windows drivers are build with SCons. Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are no longer shipped or supported. Run scons libgl-gdi to build gallium based GDI driver. This will work both with MSVS or Mingw. Windows Drivers ------- ------- At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work. Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown. Recipe ------ Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are steps that work as of this writing. - install python 2.7 - install scons (latest) - install mingw, flex, and bison - install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe - install git - download mesa from git see https://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html - run scons General ------- After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32. If you don't like putting things in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the executable(s). Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory. The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the stdcall calling convention. Static LIB files are not built. The LIB files that are built with are the linker import files associated with the DLL files. The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs. This was done mainly to get the better tessellator code. If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
