Subject: i965: Flush pipeline on EndTransformFeedback.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=63cf7fad13fc9cfdd2ae7b031426f79107000300;p=mesa.git

i965: Flush pipeline on EndTransformFeedback.

A common use case for transform feedback is to perform one draw
operation that writes transform feedback output to a buffer, followed
by a second draw operation that consumes that buffer as vertex input.
Since vertex input is consumed at an earlier pipeline stage than
writing transform feedback output, we need to flush the pipeline to
ensure that the transform feedback output is completely written before
the data is consumed.

In an ideal world, we would do some dependency tracking, so that we
would only flush the pipeline if the next draw call was about to
consume data generated by a previous draw call in the same batch.
However, since we don't have that sort of dependency tracking
infrastructure right now, we just unconditionally flush the buffer
every time glEndTransformFeedback() is called.  This will cause a
performance hit compared to the ideal case (since we will sometimes
flush the pipeline unnecessarily), but fortunately the performance hit
will be confined to circumstances where transform feedback is in use.
