+Subject: [PATCH] opengl/context: require swap_buffers param for FenceSync
+
+Commits 8854c742711705be1fcfcc6a5875960a3e2593dc and
+5ae0e0ff9a6974453c1aba41ddc8442d12ac9264 eliminated the external
+swapchain API that the render backend (vo_libmpv) was previously using.
+However, it was missed that this was being used to skip the
+gl->FenceSync calls and that logic change was not properly accounted
+for. This meant that vo_libmpv would leak fences since
+ra_gl_ctx_swap_buffers is never called to clean them up.
+
+Fix this by making sure the ra_ctx_params have swap_buffers defined
+before calling gl->FenceSync. All platforms are required to implement
+this anyway with the exception of vo_libmpv since it's a funny special
+case. Fixes #17217.
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/f74adc4243bd9e1a8ee96d187c939e6232510650]
