We often do this:
pipe->set_constant_buffer(pipe, shader, slot, &cb);
pipe_resource_reference(&cb->buffer, NULL);
That results in atomic increment in set_constant_buffer followed by
atomic decrement after set_constant_buffer. This new interface
eliminates those atomics.
For the case above, this should be used instead:
pipe->set_constant_buffer(pipe, shader, slot, true, &cb);
cb->buffer = NULL; // if cb is not a local variable, else do nothing
AMD Zen benefits from this. The perf improvement is ~3% for Viewperf13/Catia.
