When using fixed size connection buffers, if either the client or the
server is sending requests faster than the other end can cope with, the
connection buffers will fill up, eventually killing the connection.
This can be a problem for example with Xwayland mapping a lot of
windows, faster than the Wayland compositor can cope with, or a
high-rate mouse flooding the Wayland client with pointer events.
To avoid the issue, resize the connection buffers dynamically when they
get full.
Both data and fd buffers are resized on demand.
The default max buffer size is controlled via the wl_display interface
while each client's connection buffer size is adjustable for finer
control.
The purpose is to explicitly have larger connection buffers for specific
clients such as Xwayland, or set a larger buffer size for the client
with pointer focus to deal with a higher input events rate.
v0: Manuel:
Dynamically resize connection buffers - Both data and fd buffers are
resized on demand.
v1: Olivier
1. Add support for unbounded buffers on the client side and growable
(yet limited) connection buffers on the server side.
2. Add the API to set the default maximum size and a limit for a given
client.
3. Add tests for growable connection buffers and adjustable limits.
v2: Additional fixes by John:
1. Fix the size calculation in ring_buffer_check_space()
2. Fix wl_connection_read() to return gracefully once it has read up to
the max buffer size, rather than returning an error.
3. If wl_connection_flush() fails with EAGAIN but the transmit
ring-buffer has space remaining (or can be expanded),
wl_connection_queue() should store the message rather than
returning an error.
4. When the receive ring-buffer is at capacity but more data is
available to be read, wl_connection_read() should attempt to
expand the ring-buffer in order to read the remaining data.
v3: Thomas Lukaszewicz <tluk@chromium.org>
Add a test for unbounded buffers
v4: Add a client API as well to force bounded buffers (unbounded
by default (Olivier)
v5: Simplify ring_buffer_ensure_space() (Sebastian)
