Description

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

This bug covers an initial implementation of the GPU process on macOS.

Comment 2

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Current WIP patches spin up a GPU Process (with pref layers.gpu-process.enabled set to true), which doesn't render any surfaces. Work continues.

Attachment: WIP: Bug 1889757 Part X: Set layers.gpu-process.enabled pref to true for macOS Nightly.

Comment 5

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Attachment: WIP: Bug 1889757 Part 3: Make nsChildView hold a PlatformCompositorWidgetDelegate pointer.

This attempts to do the following things:

1. Make nsCocoaWindow override and store a platform compositor widget
   delegate, overriding nsBaseWidget to do so. The delegate is
   the CompositorBridgeChild.
2. Actually set the delegate -- this part is still missing I think.
3. Make nsCocoaWindow::DoResize update the size of the widget delegate,
   which should allow the child to offer up its CocoaCompositorWidget and
   receive rendering calls on the GPU.

Revision D248437 was moved to bug 1885451. Setting attachment 9486323 [details] to obsolete.

Comment 11

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Attachment: Bug 1889757 Part 6: Pass messages from NativeLayerRootRemoteMacChild to NativeLayerRootRemoteMacParent.

This handles the NativeLayerRoot methods to turn them into messages sent
to the NativeLayerRemoteMacParent. The layers are identified by their
GPU-side (client) pointers, which are turned into flavorless u64 values.
When layers are created, they we send creation messages noting the size
and other params of the layer creation. Later, when we CommitToScreen,
we pull properties from each of the layers, not knowing which of those
properties might have changed. Together, it should be enough for the
parent to reconstruct its layers and whatever new properties they should
have.

This patch probably has unneeded parts that should be moved into other
parts of this patch stack.

Comment 15

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Attachment: Bug 1889757 Part 2: Define a NativeLayerCA variant that receive an IOSurfaceRef directly.

This also incidentally removes the unused NativeLayerCA::NextSurface
method. That method was made redundant in the refactoring of Bug
1962217.

Comment 16

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Attachment: Bug 1889757 Part 2: Change NativeLayer to use pure virtual AddRef counting.

This supports a later part in this patch where a NativeLayerRoot
subclass is added, which needs to define its own AddRef and Release
implementations.

Comment 17

[Brad Werth [:bradwerth]]

Attachment: Bug 1889757 Part 8: Make NativeLayerRootRemoteMacParent handle video.

This change allows NativeLayerRemoteMac::AttachExternalImage to use the
surface injection system in NativeLayerCA::SetSurfaceToUse to handle
video surfaces.

Ugh, looks like I failed to push the rest of the patch stack. I'll clean up as best I can after I see what happens with this landing.
