Agreed. The adjustment can never be more than 1 refresh period, ergo
doesn't need a loop, unless we'd get the very unlikely case of Weston
getting preempted for a long time exactly during the few instructions
leading from output->start_repaint_loop to weston_output_finish_frame
reading the compositor clock. In which case we'd glitch badly in any
case. I can't think of a way, apart from kms driver bug, that the
pageflip event could carry a bad timestamp, and for the pageflip driven
path we don't hit that one-shot adjustment (or potential loop) anyway,
as the flags aren't WP_PRESENTATION_FEEDBACK_INVALID.
Oh, that is true about the pageflip fallback path of
start_repaint_loop. Makes me wonder if I should "fix" that, since
start_repaint_loop should never result in sending out presentation
feedback events, and can't assert on that if the flags are not
FEEDBACK_INVALID. Oh well, I've been meaning to get rid of the INVALID
flag by introducing a different function to call in that case.
I think that can't happen, because we only copy the pending feedback
events for a surface into the list for an output in the call sequence:
weston_output_maybe_repaint -> weston_output_repaint ->
weston_output_take_feedback_list
That in turn only happens if output->repaint_status ==
REPAINT_SCHEDULED, which only gets set at the end of
weston_output_finish_frame().
Iow. If the repaint loop is restarted in any way, that first
weston_output_finish_frame() call from the restart code will call
weston_presentation_feedback_present_list() with an empty
output->feedback_list - a no-op. Only then we switch to
REPAINT_SCHEDULED, sample, take pending feedback events for dispatch in
the next call to weston_output_finish_frame().
So it doesn't matter if we get called by the pageflip fallback during
restart with flags other than WP_PRESENTATION_FEEDBACK_INVALID.
But it confused me initially as well when i reread the code.
