    exo: Improve frame callbacks. · 6a449226
    David Reveman authored
    Use the compositor frame ack instead of begin-frame callback to
    trigger these callbacks. The frame ack is sufficient to prevent
    frames from being dropped, and provides minimal latency
    back-pressure for clients that implement more advanced
    scheduling.
    
    This makes it possible to improve scheduling of frames for
    Linux apps significantly. Sommelier can have the next frame
    prepared as a dmabuf and ready to commit when we receive the
    callback. This minimizes the chance that we'll miss a frame.
