Hi,

Here are a few more comments in addition to Pekka's ones.

As Pekka said, it would be better to add more access restrictions to the mmap'ed
region. In addition to saying the compositor shouldn't write to it, I believe we
should also require the compositor to map it with MAP_PRIVATE. See the
wl_keyboard.keymap event docs:

Interfaces names should either be in their stable form ("wp_color_space") or
their unstable one ("zwp_color_space_v1").

What happens if two zwp_color_management_surface_v1 objects are created for the
same wl_surface?

Many protocols just disallow this and send a protocol error.

Pekka suggested to make the object inert when the proxy is destroyed. I'm not
sure this is required as long as the compositor state doesn't _need_ to
reference the resource. But it should at least become inert when the output is
destroyed.
