It is generally assumed here and there that the pointer at all point in
time is within some logical monitor, if there is any logical monitor to
be within.
With the input thread, this was for a short amount of time not reliable,
resulting in crashes in combination with hotplugging or suspend/resume,
where monitors come and go quickly.
What happens is that the pointer at first is within a logical monitor,
but when that logical monitor is removed, while the new monitor
viewports are handed to the input thread, the constraining happens
asynchronously, meaning there is a time between between the new
viewports are sent, and before clutter_seat_query_state() starts
reporting the constrained position.
If a new client mapped a maximized window during this short time frame,
we'd crash with
#0 meta_window_place at ../src/core/place.c:883
#1 place_window_if_needed at ../src/core/constraints.c:562
#2 meta_window_constrain at ../src/core/constraints.c:310
#3 meta_window_move_resize_internal at ../src/core/window.c:3869
#4 meta_window_force_placement at ../src/core/window.c:2120
#5 xdg_toplevel_set_maximized at ../src/wayland/meta-wayland-xdg-shell.c:429
#6 ffi_call_unix64 at ../src/x86/unix64.S:105
#7 ffi_call_int at ../src/x86/ffi64.c:672
#8 wl_closure_invoke at ../src/connection.c:1025
#9 wl_client_connection_data at ../src/wayland-server.c:437
The fix for this is to make sure that the viewports are updated and
pointers constrained synchronously, i.e. the main thread will wait until
after the input thread is done constraining before continuing.

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
