2021-03-31linux-dmabuf: clarify what mixed valid/INVALID modifiers meanSimon Ser
This commit makes it clear that compositors can send valid modifiers and DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID for a given format. This means that the compositor supports both implicit and explicit modifiers. See the warning further down: > Warning: It should be an error if the format/modifier pair was not > advertised with the modifier event. This is not enforced yet because > some implementations always accept DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID. Also > version 2 of this protocol does not have the modifier event. Xwayland already requires compositors to send DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID for importing buffers with an implicit modifier [1]. In a future protocol version, it would be nice to make it a protocol error (or at least a soft failure) to use any format/modifier pair that wasn't advertised. A use-case for this is Vulkan compositors: the Vulkan DMA-BUF extensions require an explicit modifier and cannot import buffers which have an implicit modifier.

2021-02-16linux-dmabuf: no buffer errors on device disappearancePekka Paalanen
This was prompted by the discussion from https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2020-May/266611.html which is not the final wording. When a DRM device is hot-unplugged, particularly if it is the Wayland compositor's compositing GPU, EGL may start returning errors from trying to use the client's dmabuf. Or, if the client is rendering on another GPU which gets hot-unplugged, the dmabuf the compositor already has may start failing. Hot-unplug is an abrupt global action, and there is no way a client or a compositor could ensure they clean up before things start failing. It is not the client's fault, so the client should not get disconnected if already existing wl_buffer objects start failing. This patch add the wording to the protocol to this effect. The intention is that the compositor replaces the failed buffers with some placeholder content. There is no way this could be glitch-free. In its own pace the client should discover the DRM device is gone, clean up, and perhaps use something else. How exactly that should happen depends on the rendering API the client is using. This is a tiny step towards making DRM device hot-unplug not crash applications that wish to handle the unplug gracefully. Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com>

2019-05-02linux-dmabuf: clarify DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALIDChia-I Wu
DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID means to derive the modifier from the dmabuf. It provides legacy support and makes it easier to replace wl_drm. v3: DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID must be advertised to be supported (which requires a version bump) v4: no version bump, but a note for now Signed-off-by: Chia-I Wu <olvaffe@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Ser <contact@emersion.fr> Reviewed-by: Daniel Stone <daniels@collabora.com>

provide a mechanism that allows clients to import the added dmabufs and immediately use the newly created wl_buffers without waiting on an event. this is useful to clients that are sure of their import request succeeding, and wish to avoid the wl_buffer communication roundtrip. bump zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1, zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1 interface versions. v2: specify using incorrectly imported dmabufs as undefined behavior instead of sending success/failure events.
