This improves file organization in kwin by putting backends in a single
directory.
It also makes easier to discover kwin's low level components for new
contributors because the plugins directory may come as the last place to
look for. When one hears "plugin", the first thing that comes to mind is
regular plugins, not low level backends.
Blobs are not reference counted if used by other drm master, if kwin
re-uses a deleted blob in an atomic commit, it will fail. For example,
on my computer, this happens when kwin starts after xorg.
Besides that, kwin may try to destroy blobs that it doesn't own, which
is not fatal but it's strange to do so.
CCBUG: 442603
CCBUG: 439873
There are some unresolved issues where driving outputs can fail because
of bandwidth constraints. These don't appear to happen with implicit
modifiers, or at least they don't happen as often.
Instead of crashing because a nullptr property gets accessed, use
an explicit error message and ignore the offending object. This also
acts as documentation
There's no need to guard the code, gbm and drm format definitions
are the same. Using GBM_BO_FORMAT_* even caused bugs, as that is
an enum and not a proper format identifier.
BUG: 441253
IN_FORMATS contains information about which buffer formats can be
scanned out with a given drm plane. Using these plane-specific
format+modifier combinations as well as explicit modifiers in
general can yield bandwidth and performance improvements,
especially in multi-gpu systems.
DrmPipeline is now what contains all the thing related to drm calls,
instead of DrmOutput. This allows for some more flexibility and tidies
the code up a bit. Additionally instead of rolling back changes if
presentation fails, changes are directly tested with atomic test only
commits.
This reverts commit 5a22deda3b.
We still need more work to finish the DrmPipeline. At the moment, there
are a few major issues, e.g. some outputs not turning on, output
transforms not working correctly, a crash when changing dpms mode.
Let's merge this change back once all major issues are fixed and after
more testing.
DrmPipeline is what now contains all the drm bits related to
modesetting and presentation, instead of that being in DrmOutput.
This gives a lot more freedom for managing drm resources and
enables far better usage of the atomic API with guaranteed
immutability for failed tests.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
