<interface name="weston_direct_display_v1" version="1">

<description summary="weston direct display">
|
||
|
|
Weston extension to instruct the compositor to avoid any import
|
||
|
|
of the dmabuf created by 'linux-dmabuf' protocol other than the display
|
||
|
|
controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compositors are already going to use direct scan-out as much as possible but
|
||
|
|
there's no assurance that while doing so, they won't first import the dmabuf
|
||
|
|
in to the GPU. This extension assures the client that the compositor will
|
||
|
|
never attempt to import in to the GPU and pass it directly to the display
|
||
|
|
controller.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Clients can make use of this extension to pass the dmabuf buffer to the
|
||
|
|
display controller, potentially increasing the performance and lowering the
|
||
|
|
bandwidth usage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lastly, clients can make use of this extension in tandem with content-protection
|
||
|
|
one thus avoiding any GPU interaction and providing a secure-content path.
|
||
|
|
Also, in some cases, the memory where dmabuf are allocated are in specially
|
||
|
|
crafted memory zone which would be seen as an illegal memory access when the
|
||
|
|
GPU will attempt to read it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING: This interface by design might break screenshoting functionality
|
||
|
|
as compositing might be involved while doing that. Also, do note, that in
|
||
|
|
case the dmabufer provided can't be imported by KMS, the client connection
|
||
|
|
will be terminated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING: This extension requires 'linux-dmabuf' protocol and
|
||
|
|
'zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1' be already created by 'zwp_linux_buffer_v1'.

|
<description summary="forward buffer to display controller">
|
||
|
|
This request tells the compositor not to import the dmabuf to the GPU
|
||
|
|
in order to bypass it entirely, such that the buffer will be directly
|
||
|
|
scanned-out by the display controller. If HW is not capable/or there
|
||
|
|
aren't any available resources to directly scan-out the buffer, a
|
||
|
|
placeholder should be installed in-place by the compositor. The
|
||
|
|
compositor may perform checks on the dmabuf and refuse to create a
|
||
|
|
wl_buffer if the dmabuf seems unusable for being used directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assumes that 'zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1' was already created
|
||
|
|
by 'zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1_create_params'.
