+linux-dmabuf feedback introduction
+==================================
+
+linux-dmabuf feedback allows compositors and clients to negotiate optimal buffer
+allocation parameters. This document will assume that the compositor is using a
+rendering API such as OpenGL or Vulkan and KMS as the presentation API: even if
+linux-dmabuf feedback isn't restricted to this use-case, it's the most common.
+
+linux-dmabuf feedback introduces the following concepts:
+
+1. A main device. This is the render device that the compositor is using to
+ perform composition. Compositors should always be able to display a buffer
+ submitted by a client, so this device can be used as a fallback in case none
+ of the more optimized code-paths work. Clients should allocate buffers such
+ that they can be imported and textured from the main device.
+
+2. One or more tranches. Each tranche consists of a target device, allocation
+ flags and a set of format/modifier pairs. A tranche can be seen as a set of
+ formats/modifier pairs that are compatible with the target device.
+
+ A tranche can have the ``scanout`` flag. It means that the target device is
+ a KMS device, and that buffers allocated with one of the format/modifier
+ pairs in the tranche are eligible for direct scanout.
+
+ Clients should use the tranches in order to allocate buffers with the most
+ appropriate format/modifier and also to avoid allocating in private device
+ memory when cross-device operations are going to happen.
+
+linux-dmabuf feedback implementation notes
+==========================================
+
+This section contains recommendations for client and compositor implementations.
+
+For clients
+-----------
+
+Clients are expected to either pick a fixed DRM format beforehand, or
+perform the following steps repeatedly until they find a suitable format.
+
+Basic clients may only support static buffer allocation on startup. These
+clients should do the following:
+
+1. Send a ``get_default_feedback`` request to get global feedback.
+2. Select the device indicated by ``main_device`` for allocation.
+3. For each tranche:
+
+ 1. If ``tranche_target_device`` doesn't match the allocation device, ignore
+ the tranche.
+ 2. Accumulate allocation flags from ``tranche_flags``.
+ 3. Accumulate format/modifier pairs received via ``tranche_formats`` in a
+ list.
+ 4. When the ``tranche_done`` event is received, try to allocate the buffer
+ with the accumulated list of modifiers and allocation flags. If that
+ fails, proceed with the next tranche. If that succeeds, stop the loop.
+
+4. Destroy the feedback object.
+
+Tranches are ordered by preference: the more optimized tranches come first. As
+such, clients should use the first tranche that happens to work.
+
+Some clients may have already selected the device they want to use beforehand.
+These clients can ignore the ``main_device`` event, and ignore tranches whose
+``tranche_target_device`` doesn't match the selected device. Such clients need
+to be prepared for the ``wp_linux_buffer_params.create`` request to potentially
+fail.
+
+If the client allocates a buffer without specifying explicit modifiers on a
+device different from the one indicated by ``main_device``, then the client
+must force a linear layout.
+
+Some clients might support re-negotiating the buffer format/modifier on the
+fly. These clients should send a ``get_surface_feedback`` request and keep the
+feedback object alive after the initial allocation. Each time a new set of
+feedback parameters is received (ended by the ``done`` event), they should
+perform the same steps as basic clients described above. They should detect
+when the optimal allocation parameters didn't change (same
+format/modifier/flags) to avoid needlessly re-allocating their buffers.
+
+Some clients might additionally support switching the device used for
+allocations on the fly. Such clients should send a ``get_surface_feedback``
+request. For each tranche, select the device indicated by
+``tranche_target_device`` for allocation. Accumulate allocation flags (received
+via ``tranche_flags``) and format/modifier pairs (received via
+``tranche_formats``) as usual. When the ``tranche_done`` event is received, try
+to allocate the buffer with the accumulated list of modifiers and the
+allocation flags. Try to import the resulting buffer by sending a
+``wp_linux_buffer_params.create`` request (this might fail). Repeat with each
+tranche until an allocation and import succeeds. Each time a new set of
+feedback parameters is received, they should perform these steps again. They
+should detect when the optimal allocation parameters didn't change (same
+device/format/modifier/flags) to avoid needlessly re-allocating their buffers.
+
+For compositors
+---------------
+
+Basic compositors may only support texturing the DMA-BUFs via a rendering API
+such as OpenGL or Vulkan. Such compositors can send a single tranche as a reply
+to both ``get_default_feedback`` and ``get_surface_feedback``. Set the
+``main_device`` to the rendering device. Send the tranche with
+``tranche_target_device`` set to the rendering device and all of the DRM
+format/modifier pairs supported by the rendering API. Do not set the
+``scanout`` flag in the ``tranche_flags`` event.
+
+Some compositors may support direct scan-out for full-screen surfaces. These
+compositors can re-send the feedback parameters when a surface becomes
+full-screen or leaves full-screen mode if the client has used the
+``get_surface_feedback`` request. The non-full-screen feedback parameters are
+the same as basic compositors described above. The full-screen feedback
+parameters have two tranches: one with the format/modifier pairs supported by
+the KMS plane, with the ``scanout`` flag set in the ``tranche_flags`` event and
+with ``tranche_target_device`` set to the KMS scan-out device; the other with
+the rest of the format/modifier pairs (supported for texturing, but not for
+scan-out), without the ``scanout`` flag set in the ``tranche_flags`` event, and
+with the ``tranche_target_device`` set to the rendering device.
+
+Some compositors may support direct scan-out for all surfaces. These
+compositors can send two tranches for surfaces that become candidates for
+direct scan-out, similarly to compositors supporting direct scan-out for
+fullscreen surfaces. When a surface stops being a candidate for direct
+scan-out, compositors should re-send the feedback parameters optimized for
+texturing only. The way candidates for direct scan-out are selected is
+compositor policy, a possible implementation is to select as many surfaces as
+there are available hardware planes, starting from surfaces closer to the eye.
+
+Some compositors may support multiple devices at the same time. If the
+compositor supports rendering with a fixed device and direct scan-out on a
+secondary device, it may send a separate tranche for surfaces displayed on
+the secondary device that are candidates for direct scan-out. The
+``tranche_target_device`` for this tranche will be the secondary device and
+will not match the ``main_device``.
+
+Some compositors may support switching their rendering device at runtime or
+changing their rendering device depending on the surface. When the rendering
+device changes for a surface, such compositors may re-send the feedback
+parameters with a different ``main_device``. However there is a risk that
+clients don't support switching their device at runtime and continue using the
+previous device. For this reason, compositors should always have a fallback
+rendering device that they initially send as ``main_device``, such that these
+clients use said fallback device.
+
+Compositors should not change the ``main_device`` on-the-fly when explicit
+modifiers are not supported, because there's a risk of importing buffers
+with an implicit non-linear modifier as a linear buffer, resulting in
+misinterpreted buffer contents.
+
+Compositors should not send feedback parameters if they don't have a fallback
+path. For instance, compositors shouldn't send a format/modifier supported for
+direct scan-out but not supported by the rendering API for texturing.
+
+Compositors can decide to use multiple tranches to describe the allocation
+parameters optimized for texturing. For example, if there are formats which
+have a fast texturing path and formats which have a slower texturing path, the
+compositor can decide to expose two separate tranches.
+
+Compositors can decide to use intermediate tranches to describe code-paths
+slower than direct scan-out but faster than texturing. For instance, a
+compositor could insert an intermediate tranche if it's possible to use a
+mem2mem device to convert buffers to be able to use scan-out.
+
+``dev_t`` encoding
+==================
+
+The protocol carries ``dev_t`` values on the wire using arrays. A compositor
+written in C can encode the values as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct stat drm_node_stat;
+ struct wl_array dev_array = {
+ .size = sizeof(drm_node_stat.st_rdev),
+ .data = &drm_node_stat.st_rdev,
+ };
+
+A client can decode the values as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ dev_t dev;
+ assert(dev_array->size == sizeof(dev));
+ memcpy(&dev, dev_array->data, sizeof(dev));
+
+Because two DRM nodes can refer to the same DRM device while having different
+``dev_t`` values, clients should use ``drmDevicesEqual`` to compare two
+devices.
+
+``format_table`` encoding
+=========================
+
+The ``format_table`` event carries a file descriptor containing a list of
+format + modifier pairs. The list is an array of pairs which can be accessed
+with this C structure definition:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dmabuf_format_modifier {
+ uint32_t format;
+ uint32_t pad; /* unused */
+ uint64_t modifier;
+ };
+
+Integration with other APIs
+===========================
+
+- libdrm: ``drmGetDeviceFromDevId`` returns a ``drmDevice`` from a device ID.
+- EGL: the `EGL_EXT_device_drm_render_node`_ extension may be used to query the
+ DRM device render node used by a given EGL display. When unavailable, the
+ older `EGL_EXT_device_drm`_ extension may be used as a fallback.
+- Vulkan: the `VK_EXT_physical_device_drm`_ extension may be used to query the
+ DRM device used by a given ``VkPhysicalDevice``.

+ <description summary="factory for creating dmabuf-based wl_buffers">
+ Following the interfaces from:
+ https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/extensions/EXT/EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import.txt
+ https://www.khronos.org/registry/EGL/extensions/EXT/EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import_modifiers.txt
+ and the Linux DRM sub-system's AddFb2 ioctl.
+
+ This interface offers ways to create generic dmabuf-based wl_buffers.
+
+ Clients can use the get_surface_feedback request to get dmabuf feedback
+ for a particular surface. If the client wants to retrieve feedback not
+ tied to a surface, they can use the get_default_feedback request.
+
+ The following are required from clients:
+
+ - Clients must ensure that either all data in the dma-buf is
+ coherent for all subsequent read access or that coherency is
+ correctly handled by the underlying kernel-side dma-buf
+ implementation.
+
+ - Don't make any more attachments after sending the buffer to the
+ compositor. Making more attachments later increases the risk of
+ the compositor not being able to use (re-import) an existing
+ dmabuf-based wl_buffer.
+
+ The underlying graphics stack must ensure the following:
+
+ - The dmabuf file descriptors relayed to the server will stay valid
+ for the whole lifetime of the wl_buffer. This means the server may
+ at any time use those fds to import the dmabuf into any kernel
+ sub-system that might accept it.
+
+ However, when the underlying graphics stack fails to deliver the
+ promise, because of e.g. a device hot-unplug which raises internal
+ errors, after the wl_buffer has been successfully created the
+ compositor must not raise protocol errors to the client when dmabuf
+ import later fails.
+
+ To create a wl_buffer from one or more dmabufs, a client creates a
+ zwp_linux_dmabuf_params_v1 object with a zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1.create_params
+ request. All planes required by the intended format are added with
+ the 'add' request. Finally, a 'create' or 'create_immed' request is
+ issued, which has the following outcome depending on the import success.
+
+ The 'create' request,
+ - on success, triggers a 'created' event which provides the final
+ wl_buffer to the client.
+ - on failure, triggers a 'failed' event to convey that the server
+ cannot use the dmabufs received from the client.
+
+ For the 'create_immed' request,
+ - on success, the server immediately imports the added dmabufs to
+ create a wl_buffer. No event is sent from the server in this case.
+ - on failure, the server can choose to either:
+ - terminate the client by raising a fatal error.
+ - mark the wl_buffer as failed, and send a 'failed' event to the
+ client. If the client uses a failed wl_buffer as an argument to any
+ request, the behaviour is compositor implementation-defined.
+
+ For all DRM formats and unless specified in another protocol extension,
+ pre-multiplied alpha is used for pixel values.
+
+ Unless specified otherwise in another protocol extension, implicit
+ synchronization is used. In other words, compositors and clients must
+ wait and signal fences implicitly passed via the DMA-BUF's reservation
+ mechanism.

- <description summary="factory for creating dmabuf-based wl_buffers">
- Following the interfaces from:
- https://www.khronos.org/registry/egl/extensions/EXT/EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import.txt
- https://www.khronos.org/registry/EGL/extensions/EXT/EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import_modifiers.txt
- and the Linux DRM sub-system's AddFb2 ioctl.
-
- This interface offers ways to create generic dmabuf-based
- wl_buffers. Immediately after a client binds to this interface,
- the set of supported formats and format modifiers is sent with
- 'format' and 'modifier' events.
-
- The following are required from clients:
-
- - Clients must ensure that either all data in the dma-buf is
- coherent for all subsequent read access or that coherency is
- correctly handled by the underlying kernel-side dma-buf
- implementation.
-
- - Don't make any more attachments after sending the buffer to the
- compositor. Making more attachments later increases the risk of
- the compositor not being able to use (re-import) an existing
- dmabuf-based wl_buffer.
-
- The underlying graphics stack must ensure the following:
-
- - The dmabuf file descriptors relayed to the server will stay valid
- for the whole lifetime of the wl_buffer. This means the server may
- at any time use those fds to import the dmabuf into any kernel
- sub-system that might accept it.
-
- To create a wl_buffer from one or more dmabufs, a client creates a
- zwp_linux_dmabuf_params_v1 object with a zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1.create_params
- request. All planes required by the intended format are added with
- the 'add' request. Finally, a 'create' or 'create_immed' request is
- issued, which has the following outcome depending on the import success.
-
- The 'create' request,
- - on success, triggers a 'created' event which provides the final
- wl_buffer to the client.
- - on failure, triggers a 'failed' event to convey that the server
- cannot use the dmabufs received from the client.
-
- For the 'create_immed' request,
- - on success, the server immediately imports the added dmabufs to
- create a wl_buffer. No event is sent from the server in this case.
- - on failure, the server can choose to either:
- - terminate the client by raising a fatal error.
- - mark the wl_buffer as failed, and send a 'failed' event to the
- client. If the client uses a failed wl_buffer as an argument to any
- request, the behaviour is compositor implementation-defined.
-
- Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
- backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
- may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
- Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
- the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
- Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
- version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
- interface version number is reset.

- This asks for creation of a wl_buffer from the added dmabuf
- buffers. The wl_buffer is not created immediately but returned via
- the 'created' event if the dmabuf sharing succeeds. The sharing
- may fail at runtime for reasons a client cannot predict, in
- which case the 'failed' event is triggered.
-
- The 'format' argument is a DRM_FORMAT code, as defined by the
- libdrm's drm_fourcc.h. The Linux kernel's DRM sub-system is the
- authoritative source on how the format codes should work.
-
- The 'flags' is a bitfield of the flags defined in enum "flags".
- 'y_invert' means the that the image needs to be y-flipped.
-
- Flag 'interlaced' means that the frame in the buffer is not
- progressive as usual, but interlaced. An interlaced buffer as
- supported here must always contain both top and bottom fields.
- The top field always begins on the first pixel row. The temporal
- ordering between the two fields is top field first, unless
- 'bottom_first' is specified. It is undefined whether 'bottom_first'
- is ignored if 'interlaced' is not set.
-
- This protocol does not convey any information about field rate,
- duration, or timing, other than the relative ordering between the
- two fields in one buffer. A compositor may have to estimate the
- intended field rate from the incoming buffer rate. It is undefined
- whether the time of receiving wl_surface.commit with a new buffer
- attached, applying the wl_surface state, wl_surface.frame callback
- trigger, presentation, or any other point in the compositor cycle
- is used to measure the frame or field times. There is no support
- for detecting missed or late frames/fields/buffers either, and
- there is no support whatsoever for cooperating with interlaced
- compositor output.
-
- The composited image quality resulting from the use of interlaced
- buffers is explicitly undefined. A compositor may use elaborate
- hardware features or software to deinterlace and create progressive
- output frames from a sequence of interlaced input buffers, or it
- may produce substandard image quality. However, compositors that
- cannot guarantee reasonable image quality in all cases are recommended
- to just reject all interlaced buffers.
-
- Any argument errors, including non-positive width or height,
- mismatch between the number of planes and the format, bad
- format, bad offset or stride, may be indicated by fatal protocol
- errors: INCOMPLETE, INVALID_FORMAT, INVALID_DIMENSIONS,
- OUT_OF_BOUNDS.
-
- Dmabuf import errors in the server that are not obvious client
- bugs are returned via the 'failed' event as non-fatal. This
- allows attempting dmabuf sharing and falling back in the client
- if it fails.
-
- This request can be sent only once in the object's lifetime, after
- which the only legal request is destroy. This object should be
- destroyed after issuing a 'create' request. Attempting to use this
- object after issuing 'create' raises ALREADY_USED protocol error.

- It is not mandatory to issue 'create'. If a client wants to
