[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-gtk v3 2/2] channel-display: protect video streaming from temporarily unsynced mm_time (migration related)

rhbz#951664

When the src and dst servers have different mm-times, we can
hit a case when for a short period of time the session mm-time and
the video mm-time are not synced. If the video mm-time is much
bigger than the session mm-time, the next stream rendering will be
scheduled to (video-mm-time - session-mm-time), and even after
the different mm-times are synced, the video won't be rendered
till the rendering timeout that was scheduled based on a wrong mm-time,
takes place.
This patch protects from such cases. You can find more details in the
code comments.

+ * Migration can occur between 2 spice-servers with different mm-times.
+ * Then, the following cases can happen after migration completes:
+ * (We refer to src/dst-time as the mm-times on the src/dst servers):
+ *
+ * (case 1) Frames with time ~= dst-time arrive to the client before the
+ *          playback-channel updates the session's mm-time (i.e., the mm_time
+ *          of the session is still based on the src-time).
+ *     (a) If src-time < dst-time:
+ *         display_stream_schedule schedules the next rendering to
+ *         ~(dst-time - src-time) milliseconds from now.
+ *         Since we assume monotonic mm_time, display_stream_schedule,
+ *         returns immediately when a rendering timeout
+ *         has already been set, and doesn't update the timeout,
+ *         even after the mm_time is updated.
+ *         When src-time << dst-time, a significant video frames loss will occur.
+ *     (b) If src-time > dst-time
+ *         Frames will be dropped till the mm-time will be updated.
+ * (case 2) mm-time is synced with dst-time, but frames that were in the command
+ *         ring during migration still arrive (such frames hold src-time).
+ *    (a) If src-time < dst-time
+ *        The frames that hold src-time will be dropped, since their
+ *        mm_time < session-mm_time. But all the new frames that are generated in
+ *        the driver after migration, will be rendered appropriately.
+ *    (b) If src-time > dst-time
+ *        Similar consequences as in 1 (a)
+ * case 2 is less likely, since at takes at least 20 frames till the dst-server re-identifies
+ * the video stream and starts sending stream data
+ *
+ * display_session_mm_time_reset_cb handles case 1.a, and
+ * display_stream_test_frames_mm_time_reset handles case 2.b
