Public bug reported:
I'm fixing an issue with drm/vmwgfx on 17.10 Wayland desktop, and I'd
like to chat with someone about how Ubuntu Wayland works.
Specifically, when a VM is configured to have 4MB of GPU memory, we have
trouble setting modes above 1024x768@32bpp even though there's
technically enough GPU memory to handle the framebuffer.
This does not happen with Ubuntu 17.10 Xorg desktop.
>From what I can see there are two things:
1. Ubuntu Wayland seems to be allocated 2-3 framebuffer sized surfaces.
Is it doing triple-buffering?
2. For certain modes, e.g. 1360x768 and 800x600, the pitch coming into
.create_fb is greater than mode->width * bytes-per-pixel. For instance,
for 800x600@32bpp, the requested pitch is 3328 instead of 3200.
These two behaviors is different from what we assumed for low memory
configurations, and so is causing some issues.
