1783924 - Enable HW-WR on all Mesa drivers in release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, task)

Description

[Robert Mader [:rmader]]

We have allowed it in nightly for quite a while now and of all drivers capable of GL(ES) >= 3.0 all either have already their own rules, have recently be tested (freedreno/panfrost) or are are still experimental/niche. So lets finally draw a line from where on rendering regressions will be driver regressions and not our business.

We have allowed it in nightly for quite a while now and of all drivers
capable of GL(ES) >= 3.0 all either have already their own rules, have
recently be tested (freedreno >= 22.2/panfrost) or are are still
experimental/niche.

So lets finally draw a line from where on rendering regressions will
be driver issues and not our business.

The choosen Mesa version is the upcoming one, containing some fixes
for freedreno. As many distros for ARM devices update their drivers
rather conservatively, the effect of this will only slowly take
effect and even in case of major issues on some drivers (maybe v3d?)
likely allow us to add block rules before hitting many users.
