kms: Make GSource ready by default
When testing a laptop with intel and DisplayLink devices, attempting to set the DL output as the only active output resulted in GNOME/Wayland freezing. The main event loop was running fine, but nothing on screen would get updated once the DL output become the only one. This patch fixes that issue. DisplayLink USB 3 devices use an out-of-tree kernel DRM driver called EVDI. EVDI can sometimes fail drmModePageFlip(). For me, the flip fails reliably when hotplugging the DL dock and when changing display configuration to DL only. Mutter has a workaround for failing flips, it just calls drmModeSetCrtc() and that succeeds. What does not work reliably in the fallback path is Mutter keeping track of the pageflip. Since drmModePageFlip() failed, there will not be a pageflip event coming and instead Mutter queues a callback in its stead. When you have more than one output, some other output repainting will attempt to swap buffers and calls wait_for_pending_flips() which has the side-effect of dispatching any queued flip callbacks. With multiple outputs, you don't get stuck (unless they all fail the exact same way at the same time?). When you have only one output, it cannot proceed to repaint and buffer swap because the pageflip is not marked complete yet. Nothing dispatches the flip callback, leading to the freeze. The flip callback is intended to be an idle callback, implemented with a GSource. It is supposed to be called as soon as execution returns to the main event loop. The setup of the GSource is incomplete, so it will never dispatch. Fix the GSource setup by setting its ready-time to be always in the past. That gets it dispatched on the next cycle of the main event loop. This is now the default behavior for all sources created by meta_kms_add_source_in_impl(). Sources that need a delay continue to do that by overriding the ready-time explicitly. An alternative solution could have been to implement GSource prepare and check callbacks returning TRUE. However, since meta_kms_add_source_in_impl() is used by flip retry code as well, and that code needs a delay through the ready-time, I was afraid I might break the flip retry code. Hence I decided to use ready-time instead. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1209
