From 81c57614d11787c00b8859cbaef650e284b4f188 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.co.uk> Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 16:09:45 +0200 Subject: protocol: add sub-surfaces to the core The sub-surface protocol was originally committed into Weston on May 10th, 2013, in commit 2396aec6842c709a714f3825dbad9fd88478f2e6. The design for the protocol had started in the beginning of December 2012. I think it is high time to move this into the core now. This patch copies the sub-surface protocol as it was in Weston on Nov 15th, 2013, into Wayland. Weston gets a patch to remove the protocol from there. Sub-surface is a wl_surface role. You create a wl_surface as usual, and assign it the sub-surface role and a parent wl_surface. Sub-surfaces are an integral part of the parent surface, and stay glued to the parent. For window management, a window is the union of the top-level wl_surface and all its sub-surfaces. Sub-surfaces are not clipped to the parent, and the union of the surface tree can be larger than the (top-level) wl_surface at its root. The representative use case for sub-surfaces is a video player window. When the video content is given its own wl_surface, there is no need to modify the video frame contents after decoding or copy them into a whole window sized buffer before submitting it to the compositor. This allows efficient, zero-copy video presentation paths, where video decoding hardware produces a (YUV) buffer, which eventually ends up in a (YUV-capable) hardware overlay and is scanned out directly. This can also be used for zero-copy presentation of windowed OpenGL content, where the OpenGL rendering engine does not need to draw or avoid window decorations. Sub-surfaces allow mixing different buffer types into the same window, e.g. software-rendered decorations in wl_shm buffers, and live content in EGL-based buffers. However, the sub-surface extension does not offer clipping or scaling facilities, or accurate presentation timing. Those are topics for additional extensions.

A sub-surface has one parent surface. A + sub-surface's size and position are not limited to that of the parent. + Particularly, a sub-surface is not automatically clipped to its + parent's area. + + A sub-surface becomes mapped, when a non-NULL wl_buffer is applied + and the parent surface is mapped. The order of which one happens + first is irrelevant. A sub-surface is hidden if the parent becomes + hidden, or if a NULL wl_buffer is applied. These rules apply + recursively through the tree of surfaces. + + The behaviour of wl_surface.commit request on a sub-surface + depends on the sub-surface's mode. The possible modes are + synchronized and desynchronized, see methods + wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync. Synchronized + mode caches the wl_surface state to be applied when the parent's + state gets applied, and desynchronized mode applies the pending + wl_surface state directly. A sub-surface is initially in the + synchronized mode. + + Sub-surfaces have also other kind of state, which is managed by + wl_subsurface requests, as opposed to wl_surface requests. This + state includes the sub-surface position relative to the parent + surface (wl_subsurface.set_position), and the stacking order of + the parent and its sub-surfaces (wl_subsurface.place_above and + .place_below). This state is applied when the parent surface's + wl_surface state is applied, regardless of the sub-surface's mode. + As the exception, set_sync and set_desync are effective immediately. + + The main surface can be thought to be always in desynchronized mode, + since it does not have a parent in the sub-surfaces sense. + + Even if a sub-surface is in desynchronized mode, it will behave as + in synchronized mode, if its parent surface behaves as in + synchronized mode. This rule is applied recursively throughout the + tree of surfaces. This means, that one can set a sub-surface into + synchronized mode, and then assume that all its child and grand-child + sub-surfaces are synchronized, too, without explicitly setting them. + + If the wl_surface associated with the wl_subsurface is destroyed, the + wl_subsurface object becomes inert. Note, that destroying either object + takes effect immediately. If you need to synchronize the removal + of a sub-surface to the parent surface update, unmap the sub-surface + first by attaching a NULL wl_buffer, update parent, and then destroy + the sub-surface. + + If the parent wl_surface object is destroyed, the sub-surface is + unmapped. + </description> + + <request name="destroy" type="destructor"> + <description summary="remove sub-surface interface"> + The sub-surface interface is removed from the wl_surface object + that was turned into a sub-surface with + wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface request.
