Opaque region is a optimization hint, (bugs outstanding) it will not
change the output contents, therefore damage does not need to be submitted.
However, we still need to update the visibility state of the other
nodes in the tree. To do this call scene_update_region() by ourselves
but not `scene_node_update()` which will damage the outputs.
We need to intersect the opaque region with the node size or else we'll
get damage tracking effects with compositors attempting to use
wlr_scene_buffer_set_opaque_region() along with resizing the buffer
at the same time in a certain order.
Consider this: I have a new buffer that I want to commit to my scene buffer
that is smaller than the old one. However, I still have the old opaque
region that is the size of the old larger buffer, so that means that
for the small moment between when we reconfigure the opaque region for the
new buffer the opaque region will be oversized. Scene logic will then
try to apply occluding optimizations outside of the node boundaries
causing damage artifacts.
Without a round in this case the damage region is translated to truncated coordinates, potentially
misplacing it relative to the actual position of that region in the output buffer.
The backend is not able to tell whether a surface is being
presented via direct scan-out or not. The backend will set
ZERO_COPY if the buffer submitted via the output commit was
presented in a zero-copy fashion, but will no know whether the
buffer comes from the compositor or the client.
Using "present" is confusing here: the event is emitted when the
buffer is being sampled to be displayed on an output, not when it's
being presented on-screen.
Rename to match the presentation-time terminology.
By adding a sent_feedback bool into the list entry that we can mutate
we no longer need to maintain this `sent_direct_scanout_feedback` variable.
sent_feedback will also be useful for output layers.
This changes the semantics of wlr_output_state. Instead of having
fields with uninitialized memory when missing from the committed
bitflag, all fields are always initialized (and maybe NULL/empty),
just like we do in wlr_surface_state. This reduces the chances of
footguns when reading a field, and removes the need to check for
the committed bitfield everywhere.
A new wlr_output_state_init() function takes care of initializing
the Pixman region.
Based on five calls:
wlr_render_timer_create - creates a timer which can be reused across
frames on the same renderer
wlr_renderer_begin_buffer_pass - now takes a timer so that backends can
record when the rendering starts and finishes
wlr_render_timer_get_time - should be called as late as possible so that
queries can make their way back from the GPU
wlr_render_timer_destroy - self-explanatory
The timer is exposed as an opaque `struct wlr_render_timer` so that
backends can store whatever they want in there.
This is to allow for compositors that want to be more implicit about
how their scene is organized. Such a compositor may want to walk up
at a certain scene node to find something such as a surface to focus on.
...when only one edge is anchored.
The layer-shell protocol specifies that a positive exclusive-zone value is
'meaningful' if the surface is anchored to either:
1. one edge
2. one edge and both perpendicular edges.
For example, if you wish to position a layer-shell client along the top
edge and make it exclusive, you should be able to either set anchor=TOP or
anchor=TOP|LEFT|RIGHT. It appears that many panels/bars use the latter
approach (anchor to an edge and also both perpendicular edges) which is
probably why this has not been reported previously.
This patch adds support for the first case and thereby makes exclusive
zone behaviour consistent with the protocol and also with sway's extant
layer-shell implementation.
