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.
This allows compositors to choose a wlr_buffer to render to. This
is a less awkward interface than having to call bind_buffer() before
and after begin() and end().

This allows users to know the capabilities of the buffers that
will be allocated. The buffer capability is important to
know when negotiating buffer formats.
When importing a DMA-BUF wlr_buffer as a wlr_texture, the GLES2
renderer caches the result, in case the buffer is used for texturing
again in the future. When the wlr_texture is destroyed by the caller,
the wlr_buffer is unref'ed, but the wlr_gles2_texture is kept around.
This is fine because wlr_gles2_texture listens for wlr_buffer's destroy
event to avoid any use-after-free.
However, with this logic wlr_texture_destroy doesn't "really" destroy
the wlr_gles2_texture. It just decrements the wlr_buffer ref'count.
Each wlr_texture_destroy call must have a matching prior
wlr_texture_create_from_buffer call or the ref'counting will go south.
Wehn destroying the renderer, we don't want to decrement any wlr_buffer
ref'count. Instead, we want to go through any cached wlr_gles2_texture
and destroy our GL state. So instead of calling wlr_texture_destroy, we
need to call our internal gles2_texture_destroy function.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2941
Make it so wlr_gles2_texture is ref'counted (via wlr_buffer). This
is similar to wlr_gles2_buffer or wlr_drm_fb work.
When creating a wlr_texture from a wlr_buffer, first check if we
already have a texture for the buffer. If so, increase the
wlr_buffer ref'count and make sure any changes made by an external
process are made visible (by invalidating the texture).
When destroying a wlr_texture created from a wlr_buffer, decrease
the ref'count, but keep the wlr_texture around in case the caller
uses it again. When the wlr_buffer is destroyed, cleanup the
wlr_texture.
This adds a a function to create a wlr_texture from a wlr_buffer.
The main motivation for this is to allow the renderer to create a
single wlr_texture per wlr_buffer. This can avoid needless imports
by re-using existing textures.
GL_RENDERER typically displays a human-readable string for the name
of the GPU, and EGL_VENDOR typically displays a human-readable string
for the GPU manufacturer. EGL_DRIVER_NAME_EXT should give the name of
the driver in use.

This function is only required because the DRM backend still needs
to perform multi-GPU magic under-the-hood. Remove the wlr_ prefix
to make it clear it's not a candidate for being made public.
Prior to this commit, WLR_RENDERER was only looked up when the
backend returned a DRM FD.
Make it so WLR_RENDERER is always looked up, so that running wlroots
on a system without a GPU and with WLR_RENDERER=gles2 fails as
expected instead of falling back to the Pixman renderer.
Make it clear GLES2 is being used. Before this commit, various
GL-related information was printed, but not an easy-to-find line
about which renderer is being picked up.
This env var forces the creation of a specific renderer. If no renderer
is specified, the function will try to create all of the renderers one
by one until one is created successfuly.
It allocates in local main memory via shm_open, and provides a FD
to allow sharing with other processes.
This is suitable for software rendering under the Wayland and X11
backends.
The compositor shouldn't write to client buffers if the client
attaches a DMA-BUF to a wl_surface, then attaches a shm buffer.
Make gles2_texture_write_pixels return an error to prevent this
from happening.
