Post #1665140

After adding dmabuf feedbacks to niri, I stumbled upon an extremely strange performance problem when using overlay planes. One specific animation, with a GTK 4 window open, stutters, but only when going into one direction. Spent half a day debugging it with Smithay developers. Couldn't crack it yet; for some reason an AMDGPU kernel worker just... takes a while under those specific conditions, causing delayed frames. Seems to be doing the same thing as in the normal case, just... slower somehow.
