The backends and allocators use INVALID, but the renderer uses
LINEAR. Running a compositor with WLR_RENDERER=pixman results in:
00:00:00.744 [types/output/render.c:59] Failed to pick primary buffer format for output 'WL-1'
This allows callers to specify the operations they'll perform on
the returned data pointer. The motivations for this are:
- The upcoming Linux MAP_NOSIGBUS flag may only be usable on
read-only mappings.
- gbm_bo_map with GBM_BO_TRANSFER_READ hurts performance.
Add wlr_pixman_buffer_get_current_image for wlr_pixman_renderer.
Add wlr_gles2_buffer_get_current_fbo for wlr_gles2_renderer.
Allow get the FBO/pixman_image_t, the compositor can be add some
action for FBO(for eg, attach a depth buffer), or without pixman
render to pixman_image_t(for eg, use QPainter of Qt instead of pixman).
The types of buffers supported by the renderer might depend on the
renderer's instance. For instance, a renderer might only support
DMA-BUFs if the necessary EGL extensions are available.
Pass the wlr_renderer to get_buffer_caps so that the renderer can
perform such checks.
Fixes: 982498fab3 ("render: introduce renderer_get_render_buffer_caps")
This new API allows buffer implementations to know when a user is
actively accessing the buffer's underlying storage. This is
important for the upcoming client-backed wlr_buffer implementation.
