This makes it so that MetaSurfaceActorWayland is effectively just a
wrapper actor around MetaShapedTexture with some extra scaling. I think
the MetaSurfaceActor subclassing was a bad idea -- we really should have
these abstractions in much higher levels in the stack than the
compositor.
It doesn't make sense to update it in the surface actor. It's also
theoretically wrong to update the buffer's texture on surface commit,
too, because it's buffer state, not surface state, but I don't think
there's any place we use a wl_buffer without a wl_surface.
The output_id is more of an opaque identifier for the monitor, based on
its underlying ID from the windowing system. Since we also use the term
"output_id" for the output's index, rename our use of the opaque cookie
"output_id" to "winsys_id".
Scale surfaces based on output scale and the buffer scale set by them.
We pick the scale factor of the monitor there are mostly on.
We only handle native i.e non xwayland / legacy clients yet.

cogl_texture_get_components can be used on both X11 and Wayland
backends. Technically, the detection is different: we actually
check the actual RENDER format in the old code, while Cogl simply
assumes that any pixmap with a depth >= 32 is ARGB32. Since Cogl
already seems to be working with its internal checks, it makes
more sense to use Cogl's check rather than keeping our own.
is_argb32 can be called at any time, including times when we don't
have a texture. In that case, just assume we're ARGB32. The value
really shouldn't be important though.
Previously, a sequence like this would crash a client:
=> surface.attach(buffer)
=> buffer.destroy()
The correct behavior is to wait until we release the buffer before
destroying it.
=> surface.attach(buffer)
=> surface.attach(buffer2)
<= buffer.release()
=> buffer.destroy()
The protocol upstream says that "the surface contents are undefined"
in a case like this. Personally, I think that this is broken behavior
and no client should ever do it, so I explicitly killed any client
that tried to do this.
But unfortunately, as we're all well aware, XWayland does this.
Rather than wait for XWayland to be fixed, let's just allow this.
Technically, since we always copy SHM buffers into GL textures, we
could release the buffer as soon as the Cogl texture is made.
Since we do this copy, the semantics we apply are that the texture is
"frozen" in time until another newer buffer is attached. For simple
clients that simply abort on exit and don't wait for the buffer event
anyhow, this has the added bonus that we'll get nice destroy animations.
The rendering logic before was somewhat complex. We had three independent
cases to take into account when doing rendering:
* X11 compositor. In this case, we're a traditional X11 compositor,
not a Wayland compositor. We use XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get
the backing pixmap for the window, and deal with the COMPOSITE
extension messiness.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is FALSE.
* Wayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor managing
Wayland surfaces. The rendering for this is fairly straightforward,
as Cogl handles most of the complexity with EGL and SHM buffers...
Wayland clients give us the input and opaque regions through
wl_surface.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_WAYLAND.
* XWayland clients. In this case, we're a Wayland compositor, like
above, and XWayland hands us Wayland surfaces. XWayland handles
the COMPOSITE extension messiness for us, and hands us a buffer
like any other Wayland client. We have to fetch the input and
opaque regions from the X11 window ourselves.
In this case, meta_is_wayland_compositor() is TRUE and
priv->window->client_type == META_WINDOW_CLIENT_TYPE_X11.
We now split the rendering logic into two subclasses, which are:
* MetaSurfaceActorX11, which handles the X11 compositor case, in that
it uses XCompositeNameWindowPixmap to get the backing pixmap, and
deal with all the COMPOSITE extension messiness.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland, which handles the Wayland compositor case
for both native Wayland clients and XWayland clients. XWayland handles
COMPOSITE for us, and handles pushing a surface over through the
xf86-video-wayland DDX.
Frame sync is still in MetaWindowActor, as it needs to work for both the
X11 compositor and XWayland client cases. When Wayland's video display
protocol lands, this will need to be significantly overhauled, as it would
have to work for any wl_surface, including subsurfaces, so we would need
surface-level discretion.
