Struct DumbRingSource 

pub struct DumbRingSource { /* private fields */ }

A ring of CPU-mapped dumb buffers, presented as a scene layer’s source.

This is what turns BufferRing’s bookkeeping into something a producer can use: paint hands a callback the leased buffer’s mapping and the region it must repaint, and whatever the callback says it changed becomes the next commit’s FB_DAMAGE_CLIPS.

Why it lives here and not in drmkit-scene-sources

It depends on BufferRing, and the scene must not depend on the present spine — the producer seam points the other way. It is still an ordinary LayerBufferSource, so a scene layer holds one directly without knowing where it came from.

The contract, for a CPU producer

Once per frame, call paint. The callback gets the stale region: Repaint::Full for a slot that is fresh or too old to track, otherwise the union of damage since this slot was last on screen — which is not the same as what changed this frame, and is the whole reason the ring exists. Paint at least that much, return what you actually touched, and the scene’s next commit scans out the slot and reports exactly that as its damage.

Under-reporting leaves stale pixels on screen. Over-reporting costs bandwidth and nothing else, which is why every path that cannot prove the stale region returns Full.

Threading

Single-threaded: drive paint and the scene commit from one loop.

Implementations

impl DumbRingSource

pub fn new( width: u32, height: u32, fourcc: u32, max_slots: usize, ) -> Result<Self, PaintError>

A ring of up to max_slots linear dumb buffers.

Nothing is allocated here. Slots are allocated by paint as the ring grows under contention, which on a 4K display is the difference between reserving one buffer and reserving three.

Errors

PaintError::UnknownFormat if fourcc’s bits-per-pixel is not known, since that is what sizes the allocation.

pub fn paint<F>(&mut self, device: &Device, paint: F) -> Result<(), PaintError>

where F: FnOnce(&mut Mapping<'_>, &Repaint) -> Vec<Rect>,

Paint the next frame.

The callback receives the leased buffer’s writable mapping and the region it must repaint, and returns the region it actually changed, in buffer pixels.

device is a parameter rather than something the source holds. The reference keeps a raw const drm::Device* and swaps it on session resume; storing a borrow here would put a lifetime on the type and into every scene that holds one, and storing a pointer is the thing Rust is for avoiding. Passing it per call also means there is no stale device to swap when a session resumes — the next paint simply gets the new one.

Errors

PaintError::WouldBlock when every slot is busy, which is flow control rather than failure. Otherwise whatever allocating a slot failed with.

pub fn allocated(&self) -> usize

How many slots have been allocated so far.

Trait Implementations

impl LayerBufferSource for DumbRingSource

fn acquire(&mut self) -> Result<AcquiredBuffer, SourceError>

Hand the scene the slot the last paint committed.

SourceError::WouldBlock when nothing has been painted since the last acquire — the same signal a camera gives before its first frame, and handled the same way: the layer keeps what it had rather than the frame failing.

fn release(&mut self, acquired: AcquiredBuffer)

Return a slot to the ring once its flip has landed.

fn on_session_paused(&mut self)

Drop every buffer without touching the dead descriptor.

The GEM handles and framebuffer ids belonged to it and the kernel reclaims them when it closes; issuing ioctls against it would fail and change nothing.

fn on_session_resumed(&mut self, _device: &Device) -> Result<(), SourceError>

Nothing to do: the next paint allocates against the device it is given.

The reference re-points its stored device here. Not holding one is what makes this empty.

fn binding_model(&self) -> BindingModel

Which binding contract this source participates in.

fn format(&self) -> SourceFormat

The buffer’s shape, read during layer lowering to populate the properties the allocator consults.

fn release_with_fence( &mut self, acquired: AcquiredBuffer, release_fence: Option<SyncFence>, )

Release carrying the OUT_FENCE of the commit that displaced this buffer.

fn wants_release_fence(&self) -> bool

Whether this source wants the per-buffer release fence.

fn has_fresh_content(&self) -> bool

Whether a producer submitted something new since the last commit.

fn on_retired(&mut self)

The scene acquires from this source no more: its layer was removed.

fn map(&mut self, access: MapAccess) -> Result<Mapping<'_>, SourceError>

Acquire a CPU view of the pixel storage.

fn export_dma_buf(&mut self) -> Result<DmaBufDesc<'_>, SourceError>

Export the currently-acquired buffer’s DMA-BUF planes.

fn bind_to_plane(&mut self, plane_id: u32) -> Result<(), SourceError>

Bind a driver-owned producer to a plane.

fn unbind_from_plane(&mut self, plane_id: u32)

Unbind from a plane, when the layer is reassigned or retired.
