Wayland dmabuf surface are located in GPU and can be attached as EGLImage or wl_buffer. It allows direct rendering to GPU and share the HW buffer across processes.

WIP patch

For me build fails with

15:31.86 mozilla-unified/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dist/include/mozilla/widget/nsWaylandDisplay.h:19:12: fatal error: 'drm/drm_fourcc.h' file not found
15:31.86 #  include <drm/drm_fourcc.h>
15:31.86            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Same for mozilla-unified/gfx/2d/WaylandSurface.cpp

On Arch Linux.

Replacing drm with libdrm fixes the compilation issue (result not tested yet though).

It's really wip and don't expect anything from it right now.

always happy to test new cool features / optimizations :-)

I've been running it for a few hours, I don't know if the code path is used anywhere yet, but I didn't notice any problem. Let us know when there is something to expect from it.

Attached patch WIP v.2 (obsolete) — Splinter Review

Use DMAbuf as a Wayland backend. Not finished/polished yet.

Attachment #9065805 - Attachment is obsolete: true

Not sure this is useful feedback because you probably know about it already. It's working but it's really really slow and I get a lot of

Working patch, uses DMABuf as Wayland backend if gfx.wayland_dmabuf_backend.enabled is set to true.

I have not tried the individual patches, but the latest unified one with gfx.wayland_dmabuf_backend.enabled and no odd behaviour so far, slowdown is gone.

I don't know if it's related, but I got this: bp-17143081-1ae6-4a48-8f2f-d79820190528 ... probably not super helpful backtrace.

When the feature is enabled, is there any visibility in about:support ? How do we know it's working/enabled?

No, there's no evidence is enabled right now :) We should address that.

Filed as Bug 1561859.

Is this also required (or beneficial) for hardware video decoding (bug 1210726)? In that case, should we mark it as blocker?

Could this help with terrible performance in situations like fishbowl benchmark? (W10: FF and Chrome ~60fps, Linux: Chrome 60fps, FF 7fps)
