Hello
I'm porting a desktop OpenGL 3.2 Core based application to mobile GL ES 3.0. Everything seems fine on desktop, and mostly on mobile. However, there are a few cases where the mobile driver seems to be having trouble. Nothing is causing an issue via glGetError() but is seems the entire contents of my rendering pass seems to be ignored. I found that using the glDebugMessageCallbackKHR results in a message of
"The buffer is mapped" but no other details. Despite using
glEnable(GL_DEBUG_OUTPUT_SYNCHRONOUS_KHR);
the error appears to be printed on the first drawcall of the frame, rather then the actual source error.

It does appear to be related to a buffer being mapped because if I change some code that generates dynamic geometry to not use a mapping, but instead just a system memory CPU copy and then a call to glBufferData() at the end, the issue goes away. I'm reasonably confident we're not trying to render with the buffer while it is mapped, and no other hardware (desktop or mobile) appears to have the same issue. But I'd like to know what exactly is going on. My theory is that maybe some internal buffer for tiled processing is filling up and we're trying to flush, but we can't because the driver hasn't yet processed the call to glUnmapBuffer().
(I do hope to be able to port to Vulkan soon, but for right now OpenGL ES is the way we have to proceed)
Thanks!
