/* GstWlBuffer wraps wl_buffer and provides a mechanism for preventing
* buffers from being re-used while the compositor is using them. This
* is achieved by adding a reference to the GstBuffer as soon as its
* associated wl_buffer is sent to the compositor and by removing this
* reference as soon as the compositor sends a wl_buffer::release message.
*
* This mechanism is a bit complicated, though, because it adds cyclic
* references that can be dangerous. The reference cycles looks like:
*
* ----------------
* | GstWlDisplay | ---------------------------->
* ---------------- |
* |
* V
* ----------------- ------------- ---------------
* | GstBufferPool | --> | GstBuffer | ==> | GstWlBuffer |
* | | <-- | | <-- | |
* ----------------- ------------- ---------------
*
* A GstBufferPool normally holds references to its GstBuffers and each buffer
* holds a reference to a GstWlBuffer (saved in the GstMiniObject qdata).
* When a GstBuffer is in use, it holds a reference back to the pool and the
* pool doesn't hold a reference to the GstBuffer. When the GstBuffer is unrefed
* externally, it returns back to the pool and the pool holds again a reference
* to the buffer.
*
* Now when the compositor is using a buffer, the GstWlBuffer also holds a ref
* to the GstBuffer, which prevents it from returning to the pool. When the
* last GstWlBuffer receives a release event and unrefs the last GstBuffer,
* the GstBufferPool will be able to stop and if no-one is holding a strong
* ref to it, it will be destroyed. This will destroy the pool's GstBuffers and
* also the GstWlBuffers. This will all happen in the same context of the last
* gst_buffer_unref, which will be called from the buffer_release() callback.
*
* The problem here lies in the fact that buffer_release() will be called
* from the event loop thread of GstWlDisplay, so it's as if the display
* holds a reference to the GstWlBuffer, but without having an actual reference.
* When we kill the display, there is no way for the GstWlBuffer, the associated
* GstBuffer and the GstBufferPool to get destroyed, so we are going to leak a
2019-09-02 19:08:44 +00:00
* fair amount of memory.
*
* Normally, this rarely happens, because the compositor releases buffers
* almost immediately and when waylandsink stops, they are already released.
*
* However, we want to be absolutely certain, so a solution is introduced
* by registering all the GstWlBuffers with the display and explicitly
* releasing all the buffer references as soon as the display is destroyed.
*
* When the GstWlDisplay is finalized, it takes a reference to all the
* registered GstWlBuffers and then calls gst_wl_buffer_force_release_and_unref,
* which releases the potential reference to the GstBuffer, destroys the
* underlying wl_buffer and removes the reference that GstWlDisplay is holding.
* At that point, either the GstBuffer is alive somewhere and still holds a ref
* to the GstWlBuffer, which it will release when it gets destroyed, or the
* GstBuffer was destroyed in the meantime and the GstWlBuffer gets destroyed
* as soon as we remove the reference that GstWlDisplay holds.
