Uses the EXT_device_query extension to get the EGL device matching the
requested DRM file descriptor. If the extension is not supported or no device
is found, the EGL device will be retrieved using GBM.
Depends on the EGL_EXT_device_enumeration to get the list of EGL devices.
As more options are added, more fields will be duplicated. Let's
just embed the struct in wlr_xwayland_server so that we don't need
to keep both in sync.
This EGL extension has been added in [1]. The upsides are:
- We directly get a render node, instead of having to convert the
primary node name to a render node name.
- If EGL_DRM_RENDER_NODE_FILE_EXT returns NULL, that means there is
no render node being used by the driver.

Adds `wlr_buffer_resource_interface` and `wlr_buffer_register_resource_interface`,
which allows a user to register a way to create a wlr_buffer from a specific
wl_resource.
Now that we have our own wl_drm implementation, there's no reason
to provide custom renderer hooks to init a wl_display in the
interface. We can just initialize the wl_display generically,
depending on the renderer capabilities.
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
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.
