OK, So I tried to debug this on 17.04 with the mir demos.
What happens is that while the Mir server seems to run fine,
when the EGL mir clients import a surface from the mir server (using fds /
prime) they
typecast the XRGB surface from the mir server to an ARGB surface, which the
svga gallium driver doesn't like that and it returns an error.
That error is never caught in the mir platform EGL layer and when the
corresponding "bo" is dereferenced, the mir platform EGL layer instead
dereferences NULL, which is the error code...
So I'd say this is a combination of two Mir errors: One illegal typecast and
one failure to check
for errors.
As a side note, it would be possible for the svga driver to implement a
workaround and not error
in this case, but while real hardware may be more forgiving in this case, the
surface that the
mir client thinks is an argb surface will still be an xrgb surface and any
operation involving the
alpha channel will yield unexpected results so IMHO this needs to be fixed in
the MIR EGL layer:
Offending code: (platform_mir.c)
static struct gbm_bo *create_gbm_bo_from_buffer(struct gbm_device* gbm_dev,
MirBufferPackage *package)
{
struct gbm_import_fd_data data;
data.fd = package->fd[0];
data.width = package->width;
data.height = package->height;
data.format = GBM_FORMAT_ARGB8888; /* TODO: Use mir surface format */ <=
HERE!
data.stride = package->stride;
return gbm_bo_import(gbm_dev, GBM_BO_IMPORT_FD, &data, GBM_BO_USE_RENDERING);
}
