There's a lot going on here, but it all fits under the idea of
being able to communicate about texture locking statuses
without spinning on IsReadLocked. This is a bit of a trade -
we could just always allocate/grab a texture from the pool,
which would put a smaller cap on the amount of time we can
possibly spend when a texture is locked. However, this eats
up more CPU and memory than waiting on the textures to unlock,
and could take longer, especially if there were a large number
of textures which we just need to wait for for a short amount
of time. In any case, we very rarely hit the case where we
actually need to wait on the sync IPC to the compositor - most
of the time the textures are already unlocked.
There is also an async IPC call in here, which we make before
flushing async paints. This just causes the compositor to
check whether the GPU is done with its textures or not and
unlock them if it is. This helps us avoid the case where we
take a long time painting asynchronously, turn IPC back on at
the end of that, and then have to wait for the compositor
to to get into TiledLayerBufferComposite::UseTiles before
getting a response. Specifically this eliminates several talos
regressions which use ASAP mode.
Lastly, there seem to be no other cases of static Monitors
being used. This seems like it falls under similar use cases
as StaticMutexes, so I added it in. I can move it into its own
file if we think it might be generally useful in the future.
