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 * fair ammount 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. */ #include "wlbuffer.h" GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_EXTERN (gstwayland_debug); #define GST_CAT_DEFAULT gstwayland_debug G_DEFINE_TYPE (GstWlBuffer, gst_wl_buffer, G_TYPE_OBJECT); static G_DEFINE_QUARK (GstWlBufferQDataQuark, gst_wl_buffer_qdata); static void gst_wl_buffer_dispose (GObject * gobject) { GstWlBuffer *self = GST_WL_BUFFER (gobject); GST_TRACE_OBJECT (self, "dispose"); /* if the display is shutting down and we are trying to dipose * the GstWlBuffer from another thread, unregister_buffer() will * block and in the end the display will increase the refcount * of this GstWlBuffer, so it will not be finalized */ if (self->display) gst_wl_display_unregister_buffer (self->display, self); G_OBJECT_CLASS (gst_wl_buffer_parent_class)->dispose (gobject); } static void gst_wl_buffer_finalize (GObject * gobject) { GstWlBuffer *self = GST_WL_BUFFER (gobject); GST_TRACE_OBJECT (self, "finalize"); if (self->wlbuffer) wl_buffer_destroy (self->wlbuffer); G_OBJECT_CLASS (gst_wl_buffer_parent_class)->finalize (gobject); } static void gst_wl_buffer_class_init (GstWlBufferClass * klass) { GObjectClass *object_class = (GObjectClass *) klass; object_class->dispose = gst_wl_buffer_dispose; object_class->finalize = gst_wl_buffer_finalize; } static void gst_wl_buffer_init (GstWlBuffer * self) { } static void buffer_release (void *data, struct wl_buffer *wl_buffer) { GstWlBuffer *self = data; GST_LOG_OBJECT (self, "wl_buffer::release (GstBuffer: %p)", self->gstbuffer); self->used_by_compositor = FALSE; /* unref should be last, because it may end up destroying the GstWlBuffer */ gst_buffer_unref (self->gstbuffer); } static const struct wl_buffer_listener buffer_listener = { buffer_release }; static void gstbuffer_disposed (GstWlBuffer * self) { g_assert (!self->used_by_compositor); self->gstbuffer = NULL; GST_TRACE_OBJECT (self, "owning GstBuffer was finalized"); /* this will normally destroy the GstWlBuffer, unless the display is * finalizing and it has taken an additional reference to it */ g_object_unref (self); } GstWlBuffer * gst_buffer_add_wl_buffer (GstBuffer * gstbuffer, struct wl_buffer *wlbuffer, GstWlDisplay * display) { GstWlBuffer *self; self = g_object_new (GST_TYPE_WL_BUFFER, NULL); self->gstbuffer = gstbuffer; self->wlbuffer = wlbuffer; self->display = display; gst_wl_display_register_buffer (self->display, self); wl_buffer_add_listener (self->wlbuffer, &buffer_listener, self); gst_mini_object_set_qdata ((GstMiniObject *) gstbuffer, gst_wl_buffer_qdata_quark (), self, (GDestroyNotify) gstbuffer_disposed); return self; } GstWlBuffer * gst_buffer_get_wl_buffer (GstBuffer * gstbuffer) { return gst_mini_object_get_qdata ((GstMiniObject *) gstbuffer, gst_wl_buffer_qdata_quark ()); } void gst_wl_buffer_force_release_and_unref (GstWlBuffer * self) { /* Force a buffer release. * At this point, the GstWlDisplay has killed its event loop, * so we don't need to worry about buffer_release() being called * at the same time from the event loop thread */ if (self->used_by_compositor) { GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (self, "forcing wl_buffer::release (GstBuffer: %p)", self->gstbuffer); self->used_by_compositor = FALSE; gst_buffer_unref (self->gstbuffer); } /* Finalize this GstWlBuffer early. * This method has been called as a result of the display shutting down, * so we need to stop using any wayland resources and disconnect from * the display.
