Bug Description

A surface creation spec can have multiple streams. The code currently, by happenstance, makes the first stream the "default stream", i.e. instantiates a MirSurface using that stream. The MirSurface object's methods then use that stream for various purposes, e.g. to set the swap interval, to set size during resize, to query parameters of the surface, etc. Here's a list of MirSurface methods that use the default stream :

MirSurface::get_parameters(),
MirSurface::configure(),
MirSurface::attrib(),
MirSurface::handle_event()

We need to define the precise semantics of MirSurface properly in regards to the streams that may be associated with it.

As a result of the way the code currently works, we have e.g. the following problem :

When mir_demo_client_prerendered_frames, which uses a presentation chain, is run, it works fine.

When

mir_surface_is_valid(surface)

is added after surface creation (i.e. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mir-team/mir/development-branch/view/head:/playground/mir_demo_client_prerendered_frames.c#L164), it fails due to the following error being set :

 "Can not create buffer stream: Error processing buffer stream create response, no ID (disconnected?)"

It is reasonable to have the "first" stream in multibufferstream scenarios be the stream that is affected by these client API calls. We'd have to break client API to root this concept out, which I don't think we have to do right now... seems to me this bug would be resolved by adding some tests to check that mir_surface_is_valid() works properly.

This bug is really about ambiguity in the clientapi, tagged to that.

        to measure client-to-screen latency.
      . Added (build-time) support for desktop full OpenGL servers (disabled
        by default in favor of GLESv2).
      . Introduced new buffer semantics (NBS) and enabled it by default.
      . Avoided using libmirserver in mir_demo_standalone_render_overlays,
        making bringup traces less cluttered.
      . Removed TilingWindowManager from example servers.
      . Added two new mir_*_performance_test tools that are run as part of
        'mir_performance_tests'.
      . Added pointer confinement to the client API.
      . Added new platform supporting software EGLStreams.

        android devices (LP: #1599867)
      . AltGr not working on external keyboards (LP: #1565236)
      . [regression] unity8 fails to start when built with 0.24 series (lp:mir)

        raised_over_occluding_surface [called twice - over-saturated and active]
