Previously, we were copying wlr_output_state on the stack and
patching it up to be guaranteed to have a proper drmModeModeInfo
stored in it (and not a custom mode). Also, we had a bunch of
helpers deriving DRM-specific information from the generic
wlr_output_state.
Copying the wlr_output_state worked fine so far, but with output
layers we'll be getting a wl_list in there. An empty wl_list stores
two pointers to itself, copying it on the stack blindly results in
infinite loops in wl_list_for_each.
To fix this, rework our DRM backend to stop copying wlr_output_state,
instead add a new struct wlr_drm_connector_state which holds both
the wlr_output_state and additional DRM-specific information.
Using GBM to import DRM dumb buffers tends to not work well. By
using GBM we're calling some driver-specific functions in Mesa.
These functions check whether Mesa can work with the buffer.
Sometimes Mesa has requirements which differ from DRM dumb buffers
and the GBM import will fail (e.g. on amdgpu).
Instead, drop GBM and use drmPrimeFDToHandle directly. But there's
a twist: BO handles are not ref'counted by the kernel and need to
be ref'counted in user-space [1]. libdrm usually performs this
bookkeeping and is used under-the-hood by Mesa.
We can't re-use libdrm for this task without using driver-specific
APIs. So let's just re-implement the ref'counting logic in wlroots.
The wlroots implementation is inspired from amdgpu's in libdrm [2].

Unless we're dealing with a multi-GPU setup and the backend being
initialized is secondary, we don't need a renderer nor an allocator.
Stop initializing these.
This is the cause of the spurious "drmHandleEvent failed" messages
at exit. restore_drm_outputs calls handle_drm_event in a loop without
checking whether the FD is readable, so drmHandleEvent ends up with a
short read (0 bytes) and returns an error.
The loop's goal is to wait for all queued page-flip events to complete,
to allow drmModeSetCrtc calls to succeed without EBUSY. The
drmModeSetCrtc calls are supposed to restore whatever KMS state we were
started with. But it's not clear from my PoV that restoring the KMS
state on exit is desirable.
KMS clients are supposed to save and restore the (full) KMS state on VT
switch, but not on exit. Leaving our KMS state on exit avoids unnecessary
modesets and allows flicker-free transitions between clients. See [1]
for more details, and note that with Pekka we've concluded that a new
flag to reset some KMS props to their default value on compositor
start-up is the best way forward. As a side note, Weston doesn't restore
the CRTC by does disable the cursor plane on exit (see
drm_output_deinit_planes, I still think disabling the cursor plane
shouldn't be necessary on exit).
Additionally, restore_drm_outputs only a subset of the KMS state.
Gamma and other atomic properties aren't accounted for. If the previous
KMS client had some outputs disabled, restore_drm_outputs would restore
a garbage mode.

Instead of passing a wlr_texture to the backend, directly pass a
wlr_buffer. Use get_cursor_size and get_cursor_formats to create
a wlr_buffer that can be used as a cursor.
We don't want to pass a wlr_texture because we want to remove as
many rendering bits from the backend as possible.
Backend-initiated mode changes can use this function instead of
going through drm_connector_set_mode. drm_connector_set_mode becomes
a mere drm_connector_commit_state helper.
Replace it with a new drm_connector_state_is_modeset function that
decides whether a modeset is necessary directly from the
wlr_output_state which is going to be applied.
To unify the code style of the project, absolute paths have been used in
some places, such as '#include "render/allocator.h"' in
"render/gbm_allocator.h". Except for include the wayland protocol
headers should be consistent.
wlr_drm_connector.crtc may be updated by the DRM backend while a
page-flip is pending. In this case, the page-flip handler won't be able
to find the right wlr_drm_connector from the CRTC ID.
Save the CRTC when performing a page-flip to ensure we always find the
right connector when we get the event.
The DRM backend is a little special when it comes to wlr_outputs: the
wlr_drm_connectors are long-lived and are created even when no screen is
connected.
A wlr_drm_connector only advertises a wlr_output to the compositor when
a screen is connected. As such, most of wlr_output's state is invalid
when the connector is disconnected.
We want to stop using wlr_output state on disconnected connectors.
Introduce wlr_drm_connector.name which is always valid regardless of the
connector status to avoid reading wlr_output.name when disconnected.
Simplify and unify connector-specific logging with a new
wlr_drm_conn_log macro. This makes it easier to understand which
connector a failure is about, without having to explicitly integrate the
connector name in each log message.
Instead of operating on FDs in {open,close}_device, operate on
wlr_devices. This avoids the device lookup in wlr_session and allows
callers to have access to wlr_device fields.
For now, we use it to remove wlr_session_signal_add and replace it with
a more idiomatic wlr_session.events.change field. In the future, other
events will be added.
Previously, we only had the pending state (crtc->pending, crtc->mode and
crtc->active). This causes issues when a commit fails: the pending state
is left as-is, and the next commit may read stale data from it.
This will also cause issues when implementing test-only commits: we need
to rollback the pending CRTC state after a test-only commit.
Introduce separate pending and current CRTC states. Properly update the
current state after a commit.
retry_pageflip is now dead code, since drm_connector_start_renderer
isn't called anymore. It was previously called when enabling an output.
The name "retry_pageflip" was a little confusing because the function
retried a modeset and the timer wasn't set up while performing a simple
page-flip.
Let's just remove this altogether for now. We can discuss whether it's
worth it to bring it back. Should we only do it on failed page-flips?
Should we only do it on EBUSY?
We don't need a per-CRTC atomic request anymore. Let's make the request
per-commit so that it's easier to debug.
This is also groundwork for supporting wlr_output_test properly.
This is a type which manages gbm_surfaces and imported dmabufs in the
same place, and makes the lifetime management between the two shared. It
should lead to easier to understand code, and fewer special cases.
This also contains a fair bit of refactoring to start using this new
type.

Check that buffer can be scanned out in wlr_output_test instead of
wlr_output_attach_buffer. This allows the backend to have access to the
whole pending state when performing the check.
This brings the wlr_output API more in line with the KMS API.
This removes the need for wlr_output_attach_buffer to return a value,
and for wlr_output_impl.attach_buffer.
