gnome-shell displays workspace previews at one tenth scale. That's a few binary orders of magnitude so even using a LINEAR filter was resulting in visible jaggies. Now we apply mipmapping so they appear smooth. As an added bonus, the mipmaps used occupy roughly 1% the memory of the original image (0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01) so they actually fit into GPU/CPU caches now and rendering performance is improved. There's no need to traverse the original texture which at 4K resolution occupies 33MB, only a 331KB mipmap. In my case this reduces the render time for the overview by ~10%.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding
style
with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib
fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
