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.

The first time wlr_buffer_from_resource is called with a wl_buffer
resource that originates from wl_shm, create a new
wlr_shm_client_buffer as usual. If wlr_buffer_from_resource is called
multiple times, re-use the existing wlr_shm_client_buffer.
This commit changes how the wlr_shm_client_buffer lifetime is managed:
previously it was destroyed as soon as the wlr_buffer was released.
With this commit it's destroyed when the wl_buffer resource is.
Apart from de-duplicating wlr_shm_client_buffer creations, this allows
to easily track when a wlr_shm_client_buffer is re-used. This is useful
for the renderer and the backends, e.g. the Pixman renderer can keep
using the same Pixman image if the buffer is re-used. In the future,
this will also allow to re-use resources in the Wayland and X11 backends
(remote wl_buffer objects for Wayland, pixmaps for X11).
When wlr_output manages its own swap-chain, there's no need to
hook into the backend to grab DMA-BUFs. Instead, maintain a
wlr_output.front_buffer field with the latest committed buffer.
This function doesn't need the wl_resource anymore.
In the failure paths, wlr_buffer_unlock in surface_apply_damage
will take care of sending wl_buffer.release.
Khronos refers to extensions with their namespace as a prefix in
uppercase. Change our naming to align with Khronos conventions.
This also makes grepping easier.

`wlr_client_buffer_import` is splitted in two distincts function:
- wlr_buffer_from_resource, which transforms a wl_resource into
a wlr_buffer
- wlr_client_buffer_create, which creates a wlr_client_buffer
from a wlr_buffer by creating a texture from it and copying its
wl_resource
Right now callers of drm_crtc_commit need to check whether the
interface is legacy or atomic before passing the TEST_ONLY flag.
Additionally, the fallbacks for legacy are in-place in the common
code.
Add a test_only arg to the crtc_commit hook. This way, there's no
risk to pass atomic-only flags to the legacy function (add an assert
to ensure this) and all of the legacy-specific logic can be put back
into legacy.c (done in next commit).
The wl_touch.frame event is used to group multiple touch events
together. Instead of sending it immediately after each touch event,
rely on the backend to send it (and on the compositor to relay it).
This is a breaking change because compositors now need to manually
send touch frame events instead of relying on wlr_seat to do it.
Everything needs to go through the unified wlr_buffer interface
now.
If necessary, there are two ways support for
EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display could be restored by compositors:
- Either by using GBM to convert back EGL Wayland buffers to
DMA-BUFs, then wrap the DMA-BUF into a wlr_buffer.
- Or by wrapping the EGL Wayland buffer into a special wlr_buffer
that doesn't implement any wlr_buffer_impl hook, and special-case
that buffer type in the renderer.
This will allow us to remove all of our EGL wl_drm support code
and remove some weird stuff we need just for wl_drm support. In
particular, wl_drm buffers coming from the EGL implementation
can't easily be wrapped into a wlr_buffer properly.
The mailing list has never been used.
I think listing the deprecated functions in the release notes is
enough. I'd rather not add the burden of maintaining a separate
communication medium.
Custom backends and renderers need to implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_buffer_caps and
wlr_renderer_impl.get_render_buffer_caps. They can't if enum
wlr_buffer_cap isn't made public.
We never create an EGL context with the platform set to something
other than EGL_PLATFORM_GBM_KHR. Let's simplify wlr_egl_create by
taking a DRM FD instead of a (platform, remote_display) tuple.
This hides the internal details of creating an EGL context for a
specific device. This will allow us to transparently use the device
platform [1] when the time comes.

The wlr_egl functions are mostly used internally by the GLES2
renderer. Let's reduce our API surface a bit by hiding them. If
there are good use-cases for one of these, we can always make them
public again.
The functions mutating the current EGL context are not made private
because e.g. Wayfire uses them.
