+12. Synchronization
+
+Synchronization of access to buffers shared between processes is not
+currently explicitly controlled by this protocol.
+
+Without the use of additional extensions not defined by the DRI3
+protocol as of version 1.2, synchronization between multiple
+processes and contexts is considered to follow the implicit model.
+
+In this model, the driver is required to have a global view of
+access requests issued by all processes with a reference to the
+buffer, and control scheduling of all operations on that buffer,
+whether performed by the CPU or auxiliary hardware.
+
+The driver is responsible for enforcing a strict ordering to protect
+against write-after-read or read-after-write hazards, such that any
+reads requested by one process or context, are fulfilled before any
+writes requested by another process or context, as long as that read
+was definitively submitted before the write.
+
+A similar dependency exists for reads submitted after writes: the
+driver must ensure that the write is fully visible and coherent to
+the read request.
+
+As a purely illustrative example, if two processes share a buffer,
+where one process reads from a buffer using an OpenGL texture
+sampler and submits this work by calling 'glFlush', and the other
+process submits work to the driver to write to that buffer, the
+driver is responsible for ensuring that the results of the latter
+write are not visible to the texture sampler.
+
+The Sync fences provided by DRI3 control only this submission of
+work and ensuing global visibility of the requests, rather than the
+completion of the work within any hardware. To further the example
+above, a fence used to prevent any writes to the buffer before the
+sampler had completed access, the fence would be signaled when
+'glFlush' had been called, at which point the request has become
+globally visible to the driver's request-scheduling and
+synchronization mechanisms. The logical ordering of requests made
+by software has been preserved, and the driver then takes care
+to ensure that these requests are scheduled such they do not
+observe effects from requests made later in time.
+
+This presents a fully coherent in-order FIFO-like model across
+processes, where synchronzation is handled externally to the DRI3
+client with no explicit intervention.
+
+This restriction also applies for cross-device usage.
