+ <description summary="factory for creating dmabuf-based wl_buffers">
+ Following the interfaces from:
+ https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/extensions/EXT/EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import.txt
+ and the Linux DRM sub-system's AddFb2 ioctl.
+
+ This interface offers a way to create generic dmabuf-based
+ wl_buffers. Immediately after a client binds to this interface,
+ the set of supported formats is sent with 'format' events.
+
+ The following are required from clients:
+
+ - Clients must ensure that either all data in the dma-buf is
+ coherent for all subsequent read access or that coherency is
+ correctly handled by the underlying kernel-side dma-buf
+ implementation.
+
+ - Don't make any more attachments after sending the buffer to the
+ compositor. Making more attachments later increases the risk of
+ the compositor not being able to use (re-import) an existing
+ dmabuf-based wl_buffer.
+
+ The underlying graphics stack must ensure the following:
+
+ - The dmabuf file descriptors relayed to the server will stay valid
+ for the whole lifetime of the wl_buffer. This means the server may
+ at any time use those fds to import the dmabuf into any kernel
+ sub-system that might accept it.
+
+ To create a wl_buffer from one or more dmabufs, a client creates a
+ zlinux_dmabuf_params object with zlinux_dmabuf.create_params
+ request. All planes required by the intended format are added with
+ the 'add' request. Finally, 'create' request is issued. The server
+ will reply with either 'created' event which provides the final
+ wl_buffer or 'failed' event saying that it cannot use the dmabufs
+ provided.
+
+ Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
+ backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
+ may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
+ Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
+ the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
+ Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
+ version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
+ interface version number is reset.

+ <description summary="create a wl_buffer from the given dmabufs">
+ This asks for creation of a wl_buffer from the added dmabuf
+ buffers. The wl_buffer is not created immediately but returned via
+ the 'created' event if the dmabuf sharing succeeds. The sharing
+ may fail at runtime for reasons a client cannot predict, in
+ which case the 'failed' event is triggered.
+
+ The 'format' argument is a DRM_FORMAT code, as defined by the
+ libdrm's drm_fourcc.h. The Linux kernel's DRM sub-system is the
+ authoritative source on how the format codes should work.
+
+ The 'flags' is a bitfield of the flags defined in enum "flags".
+ 'y_invert' means the that the image needs to be y-flipped.
+
+ Flag 'interlaced' means that the frame in the buffer is not
+ progressive as usual, but interlaced. An interlaced buffer as
+ supported here must always contain both top and bottom fields.
+ The top field always begins on the first pixel row. The temporal
+ ordering between the two fields is top field first, unless
+ 'bottom_first' is specified. It is undefined whether 'bottom_first'
+ is ignored if 'interlaced' is not set.
+
+ This protocol does not convey any information about field rate,
+ duration, or timing, other than the relative ordering between the
+ two fields in one buffer. A compositor may have to estimate the
+ intended field rate from the incoming buffer rate. It is undefined
+ whether the time of receiving wl_surface.commit with a new buffer
+ attached, applying the wl_surface state, wl_surface.frame callback
+ trigger, presentation, or any other point in the compositor cycle
+ is used to measure the frame or field times. There is no support
+ for detecting missed or late frames/fields/buffers either, and
+ there is no support whatsoever for cooperating with interlaced
+ compositor output.
+
+ The composited image quality resulting from the use of interlaced
+ buffers is explicitly undefined. A compositor may use elaborate
+ hardware features or software to deinterlace and create progressive
+ output frames from a sequence of interlaced input buffers, or it
+ may produce substandard image quality. However, compositors that
+ cannot guarantee reasonable image quality in all cases are recommended
+ to just reject all interlaced buffers.
+
+ Any argument errors, including non-positive width or height,
+ mismatch between the number of planes and the format, bad
+ format, bad offset or stride, may be indicated by fatal protocol
+ errors: INCOMPLETE, INVALID_FORMAT, INVALID_DIMENSIONS,
+ OUT_OF_BOUNDS.
+
+ Dmabuf import errors in the server that are not obvious client
+ bugs are returned via the 'failed' event as non-fatal. This
+ allows attempting dmabuf sharing and falling back in the client
+ if it fails.
+
+ This request can be sent only once in the object's lifetime, after
+ which the only legal request is destroy. This object should be
+ destroyed after issuing 'create' request. Attempting to use this
+ object after issuing 'create' raises ALREADY_USED protocol error.
+
+ It is not mandatory to issue 'create'. If a client wants to
+ cancel the buffer creation, it can just destroy this object.
