Michel Dänzer 05efcb4b21 wayland/surface: Overhaul handling of buffer use count
Move the use count from a separate MetaWaylandBufferRef struct to the
MetaWaylandBuffer class, and remove the former.

The buffer use count is now incremented already in
meta_wayland_surface_commit, since the Wayland protocol defines the
buffer to be in use by the compositor at that point. If the buffer
attachment ends up being dropped again before it is applied to the
surface state (e.g. because another buffer is committed to a
synchronized sub-surface before the parent surface is committed),
the use count is now decremented, and a buffer release event is sent if
the use count drops to 0.

Buffer release events were previously incorrectly not sent under these
circumstances. Test case: Run the weston-subsurfaces demo with the -r1
and/or -t1 command line parameter. Resize the window. Before this
change, weston-subsurfaces would freeze or abort after a few resize
operations, because mutter failed to send release events and the
client ran out of usable buffers.

v2:
* Handle NULL priv->buffer_ref in
  meta_wayland_cursor_surface_apply_state.
v3:
* Remove MetaWaylandBufferRef altogether, move the use count tracking
  to MetaWaylandBuffer itself. Much simpler, and doesn't run into
  lifetime issues when mutter shuts down.
v4:
* Warn if use count isn't 0 in meta_wayland_buffer_finalize.
* Keep pending_buffer_resource_destroyed for attached but not yet
  committed buffers. If the client attaches a buffer and then destroys
  it before commit, we ignore the buffer attachement, same as before
  this MR.
v5:
* Rebase on top of new commit which splits up surface->texture.
* MetaWaylandSurfaceState::buffer can only be non-NULL if
  ::newly_attached is TRUE, simplify accordingly.

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 of 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.

Git messages

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as compositor: or clutter/actor:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit message body than too little.

Default branch

The default development branch is main. If you still have a local checkout under the old name, use:

git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
