Bug 72191 – [Chromium] Add support for painting directly to shared memory.

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[David Reveman]

Map shared memory buffers prior to painting tile-sized chunks using SkPicture. Allows us to paint directly to shared memory instead of temporary buffers.

Do we know if this is actually a win?

This is more important for the ability to implement an out-of-process compositor than performance but eliminating an unnecessary memcpy shouldn't hurt. Shared memory resources are not increased by this change so it seems unlikely it would have a negative impact. Only difference is the shared memory is mapped in the renderer for a bit longer than before. I'd be surprised if that has any performance impact. We could make painting directly to shared memory optional but I don't see a good reason for that.

This looks good to me.

nit: s/NULL/0/ in WebKit

This is a prototype for how to implement efficient painting directly to shared memory. This is just a proof of concept and is currently missing a framework for determining when shared memory can be reused without affecting pending updates.

it's not as scary as i imagined :)

think this should have width, height arguments? it could just assert on them being wrong even. it's scary to alloc and setPixels with no sizes in sight :)

i like how simple this is though!

this thing feels like a nice place for an abstraction.. textureUpdater()->updateSharedMemTextureRect() ?

or maybe pass texture() to the textureUpdater()->updateTextureRect() and it can do this if{}else{} ?

not sure other ideas..

I guess there could be an ASSERT there to check that sourceRect is less than texture dimensions.

This is all very temporary. Things will probably look a bit different in a real patch with a proper GraphicsContext3D API.

Hey David, I'm feeling a bit confused about this bug. I see 20 patches here all labeled prototype.

Is there uncertainty about the approach or something? Net/net, how can I provide assistance in order to crisp up the plan and move from prototyping to review and landing?

Sorry about the confusion. I've just been rebasing these patches as there's been some interest in trying them out. I haven't had time to do any real work on this lately but I'm hoping to make some progress here soon.
