So, let's say that we need to repaint region A to repair the back buffer and region B is the damage region for the current(next?) frame. So, the resulting damage region which will be passed to eglSetDamageRegionKHR is defined as the union of region A and region B. Currently, we pass only the region that specifies what parts of the back buffer must be repaired. Am I missing something?

  You were right, I misused arc somehow and submitted a half-baked last version of the patch. I only realised now when I looked at it and saw that it still had code I had removed.
  
  Sorry about that.
