- Simplifies the backends
- Avoids having two ways to do the same thing: previously one could
disable a layer by either omitting it from wlr_output_state.layers,
or by passing a NULL buffer
- We can change our mind in the future: we can allow users to omit
some layers and define a meaning without breaking the API.

Instead of littering #ifdefs everywhere, move them to the dedicated
attempt_XXX_backend() functions. This makes the logic in
wlr_backend_autocreate() more readable, and provides better error
messages when the X11/Wayland backends are disabled at compile-time,
or when WLR_BACKENDS contains a backend disabled at compile-time.
When we change the required dependencies for the DRM backend,
Meson might auto-disable the backend for users missing the new
requirements. This results in confused users [1] because they don't
notice the "drm-backend: NO" line burried in the Meson logs, and
then get a black screen when starting the compositor.
Update wlr_backend_autocreate() to refuse to create a backend with
only libinput (without DRM).
Users really wanting to start their compositor with a libinput
backend and without a DRM backend can manually set WLR_BACKENDS.

We've had this struct for a while. It'd be useful for compositors
if they want to manage the swap chains themselves instead of being
forced to use wlr_output's. Some compositors might also want to use
a swapchain without an output.
Instead of destroying all seats, destroy a single one. We only need
to destroy all seats at one call-site (backend_destroy), but we'll
need to destroy a single seat elsewhere in the next commit.
The hardcoded fallback "/usr/share/hwdata/pnp.ids" was only a
temporary solution to get things working while distributions were
still working on shipping it.
During a modeset, the core wlr_output logic will allocate a buffer
with a new size and commit it. However if we still have a frame
callback pending we'd refuse to perform the commit. This is
inconsistent with the DRM backend, which performs a blocking
modeset.
This is visible when resizing the Wayland toplevel. The logs are
filled with "Skipping buffer swap", and the wlr_damage_ring's
bounds are not properly updated.
Fix this by destroying the pending frame wl_callback.
Because wl_buffer.release is per-buffer and not per-commit, the
Wayland backend might create multiple struct wlr_wl_buffer per
struct wlr_buffer. As a result, the wlr_buffer_unlock() call inside
destroy_wl_buffer() can cause another struct wlr_wl_buffer to be
destroyed.
In backend_destroy() we were iterating the list of buffers with
wl_list_for_each_safe(), which is actually not safe in this case:
the next buffer is cached, but might be destroyed as a side-effect
of calling destroy_wl_buffer().

Since 1d581656c7 ("backend/drm: set "max bpc" to the max") we
set the "max bpc" property to the maximum value. The kernel driver
is supposed to clamp this value depending on hardware capabilities.
All kernel drivers lower the value depending on the GPU capabilities.
However, none of the drivers lower the value depending on the DP-MST
link capabilities. Thus, enabling a 4k@60Hz mode can fail on some
DP-MST setups due to the "max bpc" property.
Additionally, it's not a good idea to unconditionally set "max bpc"
to the max. A high bpc consumes more lanes and more clock speed,
which means higher power consumption and the busy lanes cannot be
used for something else (e.g. other data transfers on a USB-C cable).
For now, let's tie the "max bpc" to the pixel format of the buffer.
Introduce a heuristic to make "high bit-depth buffer" a synonym of
"I want the best quality".
This is not perfect: a "max bpc" higher than 8 might be desirable
for pixel formats with a color depth of 8 bits, for instance when
the color management KMS properties are used. But we don't really
support that yet, so let's leave this for later.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/7367
When the user switches away from the VT where wlroots is running,
the new DRM master may mutate the KMS state in an arbitrary manner.
For instance, let's say wlroots uses the following connector/CRTC
mapping:
- CRTC 42 drives connector DP-1
- CRTC 43 drives connector DP-2
Then the new DRM master may swap the mapping like so:
- CRTC 42 drives connector DP-2
- CRTC 43 drives connector DP-1
wlroots needs to restore its own state when the user switches back.
Some state is attached to wlr_drm_crtc (e.g. current FB), so reading
back and adopting the CRTC/connector mapping left by the previous DRM
master would be complicated (this was the source of other bugs in the
past, see [1]).
With the previous logic, wlroots merely tries to restore the state
of each connector one after the other. This fails in the scenario
described above: the kernel refuses to use CRTC 42 for DP-1, because
that CRTC is already in-use for DP-2.
Unfortunately with the legacy uAPI it's not possible to restore the
state in one go. We need to support both legacy and atomic uAPIs, so
let's fix the bug for the legacy uAPI first, and then improve the
situation for the atomic uAPI as a second step [2].
We need to disable the CRTCs we're going to switch the connectors for.
This sounds complicated, so let's just disable all CRTCs to simplify.
This causes a black screen because of the on/off modesets, but makes
VT switch much more reliable, so I'll take it.

We only need it for one thing: gamma size. Moreover, some bits in
the drmModeCrtc will become out-of-date, for instance the current
mode, so let's avoid caching the whole struct and only keep what
we know won't change.
connect_drm_connector() may be called long after create_drm_connector().
During that time the DRM mode might have changed. Avoid working with
stale information.
match_obj() might return a configuration where the CRTC for an
enabled connector is switched to another one.
We don't support this correctly: the wlr_output common code would
need to query again the supported formats, re-allocate the
swapchain, etc.
What's more, the kernel doesn't even support this [1]: it
requires planes to be disabled to change their CRTC, it rejects
commits directly switching the CRTC used by a plane.
[1]: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c?h=6e90293618ed476d6b11f82ce724efbb9e9a071b#n697
If the commit fails, then our local state becomes out-of-sync with
the kernel's. Additionally, when disabling a connector without going
through dealloc_crtc(), conn->crtc would still be set.
Fix this by updating conn->crtc in drm_connector_commit_state().
The raw enum value wasn't informative enough. It's not trivial to
tell whether 0 means connected or disconnected.
Drop the status from the state after realloc, since the exact same
information is printed right above.
Instead of having a pending_fb field on the struct wlr_drm_plane,
move it to struct wlr_drm_connector_state. That way, there's no
risk having a stale pending FB around: the state doesn't survive
across tests and commits.
The cursor is a special case because it's disconnected from the
atomic state: the wlr_backend_impl.set_cursor hook sets the cursor
for the next commit. Move the field to
wlr_drm_connector.cursor_pending_fb.
We'll move the pending primary FB into the connector state in the
next commit, dropping wlr_drm_plane.pending_fb in the process.
Introduce a dedicated field for the cursor, which has to be managed
in a special way due to our set_cursor API.
We were calling drm_connector_supports_vrr() before
drm_connector_alloc_crtc(). Thus, when an output is currently off,
the VRR test would always fail, because it checks that the
vrr_enabled CRTC prop exists.
destroy_wl_buffer() is called from backend_destroy(). We need to
ensure the wlr_buffer is unlocked when we're waiting for a
wl_buffer.release event from the parent compositor.
Up until now, wlr_backend_autocreate() created the wlr_session and
then stuffed it into struct wlr_multi_backend so that compositors
can grab it later.
This is an abuse of wlr_multi_backend and the wlr_backend API:
wlr_backend_get_session() and wlr_multi_backend.session only exist
to accomodate the needs of wlr_backend_autocreate(). What's more,
the DRM and libinput backends don't implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_session.
Instead, return the struct wlr_session to the compositor in the
wlr_backend_autocreate() call. wlr_backend_get_session() will be
removed in the next commit.
The following situation can be dangerous:
- Output DP-1 is plugged in, compositor enables it.
- User VT switches away.
- User unplugs DP-1.
- User VT switches back.
- scan_drm_connectors() figures out the output is now disconnected,
uninitializes the struct wlr_output.
- The loop restoring previous output state in handle_session_active()
accesses the struct wlr_output to figure out what to restore.
By chance, we zero out the struct wlr_output after uninitializing it,
so enabled and current_mode will always be zero. But let's make sure
we handle this case explicitly, to remind future readers that it exists
and make the code less fragile.
The old drm_connector_set_mode() function did that by calling
drm_crtc_page_flip(). We lost this in the refactoring.
Fixes: f216e97983 ("backend/drm: drop drm_connector_set_mode()")
Once we are DRM master, the CRTC cannot be changed behind our back
except during a VT switch.
After a VT switch, we try to restore whatever KMS state we had last
programmed. Reloading the current CRTC from KMS breaks this and
can result in a modeset without a FB.
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3432
The drm_connector_commit_state() call in handle_session_active()
was not resulting in any atomic commit, because it didn't match any
of the if branches: active = true, no new buffer was committed,
and adaptive sync/gamma LUT were unchanged. Thus the commit was a
no-op.
Later on, when the compositor performs regular page-flips, the
kernel would return EINVAL indicating that a modeset was needed.
Rework the logic to use a non-blocking page-flip commit if a buffer
was committed, and use a blocking commit if the connector is on or
is being disabled. The only case where we should skip the atomic
commit is when disabling (active = false) an already-disabled
connector (conn->crtc == NULL).
Note, 6936e163b5 ("backend/drm: short-circuit no-op commits")
has introduced early returns for other situations where we don't
need to perform an atomic commit (e.g. updating scale or transform
of an output).
Fixes: f216e97983 ("backend/drm: drop drm_connector_set_mode()")
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3432
Extract the logic to fetch the current mode to a separate function
to make it more readable. Stop dying in an assert when
get_drm_prop_blob() fails. Always make it so the drmModeModeInfo
pointer is allocated so that we can free() it unconditionally.
We already have disconnect_drm_connector() to handle the
CONNECTED → DISCONNECTED transition. Let's add
connect_drm_connector() to handle DISCONNECTED → CONNECTED. This
makes scan_drm_connectors() shorter and easier to follow.
No functional change, literally just moving code around.
We were using the legacy API (with a detour through drmModeEncoder)
to find out the current CRTC for a connector. Use the atomic API
when available.
Also extract the whole logic into a separate function for better
readability, and better handle errors.
Instead of special-casing modesets, we can just cut the wrapper
and directly call drm_crtc_page_flip(). drm_connector_test() should
already have the checks previously done in drm_connector_set_mode(),
all we need to do is update enabled/mode after a successful atomic
commit.
This field becomes stale too easily: for instance, see 6adca4089c
("backend/drm: don't unconditionally set desired_enabled").
Additionally, drm_connector_alloc_crtc() needs to do some weird
dance, restoring its previous value.
Instead, add a connector arg to realloc_crtcs() to indicate a new
connector we want to enable.
We were unconditonally setting desired_enabled = true for all
connected connectors. This makes realloc_crtcs() always keep a CRTC
active for these, even if the user doesn't want to enable them.
When starting up, the compositor might call wlr_output_set_mode()
with a mode which is already the current one. wlroots will detect
this and make the wlr_output_set_mode() call a no-op. During the
next wlr_output_commit() call, wlroots will perform an atomic
commit without the ALLOW_MODESET flag.
This is an issue, because some drivers need ALLOW_MODESET even if
the mode is the same. For instance, if the FB stride or modifier
changed, some drivers require a modeset.
Add a new flag "allow_artifacts" which is set when the compositor
calls mode-setting functions. Use this flag to figure out whether
we want to perform atomic commits with ALLOW_MODESET.
(The name "allow_artifacts" is picked because ALLOW_MODESET is a
misnomer, see [1].)
