Updated to core first, and after a brief test, tainted. No installation issues. Glmark2 test consistent with previous experience. No issues noted after about an hour of operation. Meson is developer territory, I'm guessing it's here because it was needed to build the mesa packages. Most users won't be using it. Katnatek's clean install will be a sufficient test.

MGA9-64 Plasma, i5-7500, nvidia graphics. As before, tested the core packages first, then tainted. Then I updated to the nvidia-current driver currently under test. No issues noted. $ inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GM107GL [Quadro K620] driver: nvidia v: 550.135 Display: x11 server: X.org v: 1.21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.9 driver: X: loaded: nvidia,v4l gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: nvidia,swrast platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 vendor: nvidia v: 550.135 renderer: Quadro K620/PCIe/SSE2 API: Vulkan v: 1.3.231 drivers: nvidia,llvmpipe surfaces: xcb,xlib
Same hardware as Comment 13, using the nouveau driver. This is just the basic driver that's used if the user answers "No" to the "Do you want to use the proprietary driver" question of XFdrake. $ inxi -G Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GM107GL [Quadro K620] driver: nouveau v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.org v: 1.21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.9 driver: X: loaded: nouveau,v4l dri: nouveau gpu: nouveau resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: nouveau,swrast platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device API: OpenGL v: 4.3 vendor: mesa v: 24.2.8 renderer: NV117 API: Vulkan v: 1.3.231 drivers: llvmpipe surfaces: xcb,xlib Tested as before, with no issues. Glmark2 score is considerably smaller than with nvidia-current, but that's probably to be expected.

Tested core first, then tainted, with no issues. Glmark2 crashed on this system with Mageia 8, but that was fixed with Mageia 9. The score is dismal - 209 - but that may be as good as this 14-year-old hardware can do. Oddly enough, Mageia 9 guests in VirtualBox, which use a higher version of OpenGL, score higher than the host. It is perfectly stable with everything else, so OK here.
With the 6550b as a host, I upgraded an old M8 Plasma guest to M9, then tested the tainted versions. Results were mixed. Firefox worked OK, playing a Youtube video with no issues. But, when I went to run glmark2, it crashed the guest partway through. It did this twice, at a different place each time. However, disabling hardware acceleration for the guest allowed it to complete, but the score was lower than I"ve ever seen, 66. But it did work. I strongly suspect that this 2-core processor, while adequate for VirtualBox and Mageia in the past, is just not up to the strain of pushing things now. The ability to assign more cores to the VM would no doubt make a big difference. I do not think the mesa update is at fault here. $ inxi -SCG System: Host: localhost Kernel: 6.6.61-desktop-1.mga9 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 5.27.10 Distro: Mageia 9 CPU: Info: single core model: Intel Core i3 M 350 bits: 64 cache: L2: 256 KiB Speed (MHz): 2261 min/max: N/A core: 1: 2261 Graphics: Device-1: VMware SVGA II Adapter driver: vmwgfx v: 2.20.0.0 Display: x11 server: X.org v: 1.21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.9 driver: X: loaded: v4l,vmware gpu: vmwgfx resolution: 1360x650~60Hz API: EGL v: 1.5 drivers: kms_swrast,swrast platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device API: OpenGL v: 4.5 vendor: mesa v: 24.2.8 renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.6 128 bits) API: Vulkan v: 1.3.231 drivers: llvmpipe surfaces: xcb,xlib
In contrast, using the system from comment 13 as a host, the M9 Plasma guest works much better. It completes glmark2 either with or without hardware acceleration - though the score with is about 6 times higher than without. $ inxi -SCG System: Host: localhost Kernel: 6.6.61-desktop-1.mga9 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 5.27.10 Distro: Mageia 9 CPU: Info: dual core model: Intel Core i5-7500 bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 512 KiB Speed (MHz): avg: 3408 min/max: N/A cores: 1: 3408 2: 3408 Graphics: Device-1: VMware SVGA II Adapter driver: vmwgfx v: 2.20.0.0 Display: x11 server: X.org v: 1.21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.9 driver: X: loaded: v4l,vmware dri: vmwgfx gpu: vmwgfx resolution: 1920x944~60Hz API: EGL v: 1.4,1.5 drivers: swrast,vmwgfx platforms: gbm,x11,surfaceless,device API: OpenGL v: 4.1 vendor: vmware mesa v: 24.2.8 renderer: SVGA3D; build: RELEASE; LLVM; API: Vulkan v: 1.3.231 drivers: llvmpipe surfaces: xcb,xlib
Looking good in every test. Validating.

Does other bench like 'env vblank_mode=0 glxgears' or 'glxspheres64' crashes too?
Yes, it crashes with glxspheres64 when acceleration is enabled. It does not crash when it is disabled. Just to make sure it's clear, the whole guest crashes, not just the particular app. Removing the OKs and validation, for now.

But it crashes only on the virtualbox guests or native? As it might also be a problem of virtualbox. E.g. what is the amount of VM reserved for virtualbox videomem? E.g. from menu it can go usually up to 128MB, and manually it can be edited up to 256 MB. Is there also enough RAM on virtualbox? Does the coredumpctl in the native shows something?
Only the guest is crashing. Video memory is set to 128 MB. Host is maxed out at 8 GB of RAM; guest has 3 GB of it. Guest "hard drive" is a dynamically allocated to a max of 30GB, currently at an "actual" size of just over 20GB. Because the cpu is dual core, the guest is only given one. Years ago, after I got my first 4-core cpu, I noticed a huge increase in performance when I could allocate two for the guest. But, of course, I can't do that here. Also years ago, I replaced the rust drive with an ssd, and then replaced the optical drive with that rust drive. I put system and /home for three installs on the ssd, with most data like photos and non-sensitive documents on the rust drive and accessible to any of the installs. However, I put the VMs on the ssd, because again performance was greater. The fstrim.timer service is set in the host, so that a trim is done once a week. I have owned this laptop and used Mageia on it since 2016. It used to work very well with VirtualBox, but slowly, over the years, it's as if vbox demands more and more from the host, so that the 6550b is now only marginally adequate for it. It's not the first time this has happened for me, so I'm not surprised, or alarmed.

Resource is time shared even if it looks to the guest that it have all of the core(s) it is given.
I had forgotten that this processor has 4 threads, so 2 cpus in vbox are OK. I also increased total RAM to 4 gigs, and video RAM to 256. But to no avail. It still crashes with both benchmarks when 3D acceleration is enabled.
Tried this on my HP Pavilion laptop, much newer and more capable hardware-wise. In a VM that I believe has the same beginnings as the one on the Probook (upgraded from a M8 guest), and BEFORE the mesa update, it also crashes when running glmark2 with 3D acceleration enabled. Not quite the same way - this one just froze the VM - but close enough to clear this update as at fault. Probably a VirtualBox problem, but that's for another bug. Restoring the validation, and moving on.

Agree. So it seems it's not a regression against 24.2.7. Virtualbox's vmwgfx might also be involved. Performance problems might also regard only the 'crocus' upstream driver, which is now used instead of i965. I found also something similar (but not for virtualbox) https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5978
