1060085 - Add Thread-local versions of ShSurf::Fence/Poll/Wait

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Canvas: WebGL, defect)

Description

[Jeff Gilbert [:jgilbert]]

We get access to some better synchronization opportunities if we have thread-local versions of ShSurf::Poll and Wait.

For instance, if we add a frame of delay, but call poll/wait on the content thread, we can wait until then to readback, which may allow for better throughput than doing readback during Fence().

Also, NV_fence for ANGLE has to happen on the same GLContext, so we can only use fTestFence and fFinishFence on the same thread we make the fence on.

Should we assert the thread it's being called from? I'm not a huge fan of _ThreadLocal(). Maybe _ContentThread, or something. I don't know, but I also don't think it warrants an r-.

Should this be mOwningThread, perhaps?  Parent implies hierarchy to me (object-to-object). In this case, I think a thread "owns" the fence/surf/etc.

I changed the name and made it assert without having to add asserts to each implementation.

This is just a de-bitrotted version of the previous r+.
