Lock the shared state mutex and work with a local reference of so->fence
Review of attachment 127267:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid execution of st_fence_sync() can still race.
Thread-A can run upto
success = screen->fence_finish(screen, pipe, fence, 0);
and then get prempted and Thread-B can run upto the same location.
And then
screen->fence_reference(screen, &so->fence, NULL);
can still be executed in arbitrary order. If screen->fence_refrence()
is thread-safe and return true only for the first invocation then all is fine
but likely it is not true as otherwise we will not be struggling with this
issue.
I think the gist of it is that checking of so->fence and nullifying of it
should be executed atomically. If "if (success)" is replaced with "if (success
&& so->fence)" then the program may behave correctly but I'm not confortable
about sreen->fence_ference() being called concurrently.
I'm also concerned that mutual exclusion on ctx->Shared->Mutex may introduce
unnecessarily strict serialization.
Can't we introduce per sync-object mutex so that excution of checking of
so->fence and nullyfying of it happen atomically?
Is that modification too intrusive? (At least it is unnecessary overhead when
st_fence_sync() is not executed concurrently on the same sync object.)
