If all the sync points were signaled in both fences a and b, there was only one sync point in merged fence which is a_fence[0]. The Fence structure in android framework might be confused about timestamp if there were any sync points which were signaled after a_fence[0]. It might be more reasonable to use timestamp of last signaled sync point to represent the merged fence. The issue can be found from EGL extension ANDROID_get_frame_timestamps. Sometimes the return value of EGL_READS_DONE_TIME_ANDROID is head of the return value of EGL_RENDERING_COMPLETE_TIME_ANDROID. That means display/composition had been completed before rendering was completed that is incorrect.

Hi, I didn't get response since I previously sent this a month ago. Could someone have a chance to look at it please? Thanks. drivers/dma-buf/sync_file.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

If there is more than one fence, sync_file->fence is a fence_array and its timestamp is what you want. If there is one fence, sync_file->fence is a pointer to that fence, and naturally has the right timestamp.
In short, this should be handled by dma_fence_array_create() when given a complete set of signaled fences, it too should inherit the signaled status with the timestamp being taken from the last fence. It should also be careful to inherit the error status. -Chris
