1786675 - Blocklist for WebGPU adapters

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1760663

(Core :: Graphics: WebGPU, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Jim Blandy :jimb]

In order to allow us to respond quickly to reports of misbehaving GPUs, we should have a blacklist of adapters that should not be offered to web content.

This should be a list we can add to without making a new Firefox release. I assume Firefox must have mechanisms like this in place already.

One of the places to look at in our code regarding blocklisting is GfxInfo (there's one per platform, for example https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/windows/GfxInfo.cpp) and https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/GfxInfoBase.cpp. We can work from there, see where it interacts with the graphics code. A good person to ask about this stuff is Andrew Osmond.

Looks like this was done here in bug 1760663.
