Title:
Segfault using GTK display with dmabuf (iGVT-g) on Wayland
Status in QEMU:
Expired
Bug description:
When using...
a) Intel virtualized graphics (iGVT-g) with dmabuf output
b) QEMU's GTK display with GL output enabled (-display gtk,gl=on)
c) A Wayland compositor (Sway in my case)
a segfault occurs at some point on boot (I guess as soon as the guest starts
using the virtual graphics card?)
The origin is the function dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf in ui/console.c, where it
calls
con->gl->ops->dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf(con->gl, dmabuf);
However, the ops field (struct DisplayChangeListenerOps) does not have
dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf set because it is set to dcl_gl_area_ops which does not
have dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf set.
Only dcl_egl_ops has dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf set.
Currently, the GTK display uses EGL on X11 displays, but GtkGLArea on
Wayland. This can be observed in early_gtk_display_init() in ui/gtk.c, where it
says (simplified code):
if (opts->has_gl && opts->gl != DISPLAYGL_MODE_OFF) {
if (GDK_IS_WAYLAND_DISPLAY(gdk_display_get_default())) {
gtk_use_gl_area = true;
gtk_gl_area_init();
} else {
DisplayGLMode mode = opts->has_gl ? opts->gl : DISPLAYGL_MODE_ON;
gtk_egl_init(mode);
}
}
To reproduce the findings above, add this assertion to dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf:
assert(con->gl->ops->dpy_gl_scanout_dmabuf);
This will make the segfault turn into an assertion failure.
A workaround is to force QEMU to use GDK's X11 backend (using
GDK_BACKEND=x11).
Note: This might be a duplicate of 1775011, however the information
provided in that bug report is not sufficient to make the assertion.
