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.

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).
Rely on wlr_output's generic swapchain support instead of creating our
own. The headless output now simply keeps a reference to the front buffer
and does nothing else.
Instead of passing a wlr_texture to the backend, directly pass a
wlr_buffer. Use get_cursor_size and get_cursor_formats to create
a wlr_buffer that can be used as a cursor.
We don't want to pass a wlr_texture because we want to remove as
many rendering bits from the backend as possible.
Instead of managing our own renderer and allocator, let the common
code do it.
Because wlr_headless_backend_create_with_renderer needs to re-use
the parent renderer, we have to hand-roll some of the renderer
initialization.
Backend-initiated mode changes can use this function instead of
going through drm_connector_set_mode. drm_connector_set_mode becomes
a mere drm_connector_commit_state helper.
Replace it with a new drm_connector_state_is_modeset function that
decides whether a modeset is necessary directly from the
wlr_output_state which is going to be applied.
Stop assuming that the state to be applied is in output->pending in
crtc_commit. This will allow us to remove ephemeral fields in
wlr_drm_crtc, which are used scratch fields to stash temporary
per-commit data.
libseat provides all session functionality, so there is no longer need
for a session backend abstraction. The libseat device ID, seat handle
and event loop handle are moved to the main wlr_session and wlr_device
structs.
The get_drm_fd was made available in an internal header with a53ab146f. Move it
now to the public header so consumers opting in to the unstable interfaces can
make use of it.
wlroots' dependency on this library doesn't change the features
exposed to compositors. It's purely a wlroots implementation detail.
Thus downstream compositors shouldn't really care about it.
Introduce an "internal_features" dictionary to store the status of
such internal dependencies.
To unify the code style of the project, absolute paths have been used in
some places, such as '#include "render/allocator.h"' in
"render/gbm_allocator.h". Except for include the wayland protocol
headers should be consistent.
When we receive an Expose event, that means that we must redraw that
region of the X11 window. Keep track of these regions with pixman
regions, and merge them with the additional output damaged regions.
Fixes#2670
This actually simplifies the logic since we no longer have to wait for
enter/leave events, and also improves the UX when e.g. handling a crash
with gdb attached.
See #2659
The subconnector property indicates the connector sub-type. This is
useful because that usually indicates what kind of connector the user
has plugged in to their monitor, e.g. a DisplayPort-to-DVI cable will
indicate a DVI subconnector. Also some laptops have non-DP connectors
that are internally linked to a DP port on the GPU.
Set the output description accordingly.
