+Subject: [PATCH] compositor/sync-ring: Allow the gpu_fence to be moved
+
+When the compositor inserts two waits in a frame, such as f606a4424a5afc,
+the second insertion shouldn't break the ring's state machine as easily
+as it does. We can instead merge the two GL waits into one by simply moving
+the GL fence to the latest insertion. Each insertion still does its own X11
+sync though.
+
+Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3384
+Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3685>
