    i965: validate sf state

I can press the "Render this window" button as often as I like. No problem. But if I then close the resulting render window (with the window manager close button) then it crashes every time.

so here, Mobile 4 [8086:2a42] (rev 07) to reproduce:
open blender
press "Render this window" button
close the resulting render window with its close button
 

I get the exact same symptoms with:
libgl1-mesa-dri:
  Installed: 7.6.0~git20090928.6829ef74-0ubuntu1~xup~1
which I am currently testing because it is supposed to be included in ubuntu 9.10

Yes, it's the same behaviour for me. Sorry if my first explanation wasn't clear enough.

I could also repro this bug on my G45 using karmic and the mesa version from the X-Updates repository. I added dmesg, xorglog etc do this downstream bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/439488

When Blender crashes I see this in dmesg:

That bisect appears to be wrong -- I get the same failure in the previous commit.  Things in fact fail in various ways back to the Mesa metaops introduction.  It looks like the problem is that in this path:

Breakpoint 2, _mesa_meta_free (ctx=0x9a625a0) at drivers/common/meta.c:305
305	{
(gdb) bt
#0  _mesa_meta_free (ctx=0x9a625a0) at drivers/common/meta.c:305
#1  0xb5db018d in intelDestroyContext (driContextPriv=0x99b8990)
    at intel_context.c:821
#2  0xb5da7e6f in driDestroyContext (pcp=0x99b8990) at ../common/dri_util.c:545
...

(gdb) call _mesa_get_current_context()
$41 = (GLcontext *) 0x8edaa40
(gdb) p ctx
$42 = (GLcontext *) 0x9a625a0

so we're trying to free objects from ctx when _mesa_get_current_context() is what will be used when looking up the names to get objects to free.  Later on down the line, we get a _mesa_error when binding a vertex array object for a drawpixels, state gets stomped since we don't catch that that happened, and finally when we get to the clear things are just hosed.

Not really sure what the right answer is here, but I suspect it's for _mesa_meta_free to only happen from the context data free path.  Brian, any opinion?

Strictly speaking, we shouldn't have to worry about freeing any of the textures, VBOs, etc. in _mesa_meta_free(); I was just being paranoid.

I'll do a mem leak check with valgrind and remove this code if I can...

Otherwise, checking  if (ctx == _mesa_get_current_context())  is another way to fix this.

OK, fixed on the 7.6 branch with commit 7dd2c0afd68a90bb6b1f5f030c8d60bf6a562071
