feat(video)!: accept external Vulkan encoder inputs

[kixelated]

Problem

External Vulkan producers currently open CUDA and choose NVENC themselves. Automatic selection can open an unrelated GPU or fall back to CPU encoding before the producer's device is known.

Approach

Declare the input device in encoder configuration and publish vendor-neutral image slots. NVENC privately imports each slot, shares the capture's NV12 conversion across renditions using the same color space, and scales on the GPU. Exported memory carries the device/driver identity, allocation contract, and explicit DMA-BUF plane layouts. An external DMA-BUF constructor retains the producer's FD and release guard.

Impact

• Linux Surface::Vulkan no longer requires nvidia. vulkan::Slot::new takes exported handles, an Image, and a producer guard; image/device/memory/plane descriptors replace the CUDA-owned producer API.
• Linux encode::Config::input binds eager open and catalog probing to the external device. Unsupported devices are refused without software fallback; external frames may be scaled to the encoder's output size.
• DmaBuf::new is public and takes an owned FD, DmaBufLayout, and a release guard. DmaBufPlane::new is public. External DMA-BUFs refuse CPU readback.
• vulkan::Importer, vulkan::ImportError, cuda::Converter, and cuda::Slot leave the public API. Native Surface::Cuda remains available for NVDEC output.
• just rs gpu replaces just rs vulkan-cuda, detects PCI GPUs, refuses missing drivers, and runs each vendor's registered ignored tests.
• Wire: none.

Alternatives

Deferring selection to the first frame would change eager startup failure and advertise-before-capture probing. The selected configuration field preserves those contracts. Producer-owned slots bound import lifetimes; conversion buffers retain a separate bounded pool.

Iteration

• Merged current main (clean, no conflicts).
• Applied the decisions above (cd5f5a2). Public API: vulkan::Channels is now vulkan::Format { Rgba8, Bgra8 }, Image::channels is Image::format, Frame::channels() is Frame::format(), and Handles::new is removed (build Handles { memory, timeline }). Wire: none.
• vulkan_cuda_auto_external_encode now checks pixels, not just frame counts and sizes. Each decoded rendition (320x192 and 160x96) of each of six captures, three RGBA then three BGRA, is compared per plane against the CPU conversion and resize reference (mean error under 8, the tolerance the direct round-trip test already uses). Each capture moves the gradient half a width, and a new CPU test, auto_external_captures_are_distinguishable, pins that successive pictures differ by at least twice that tolerance on every plane at both sizes. So stale, black, or channel-swapped output fails. The old captures moved one pixel apart, which no tolerance could tell apart. This exercises the automatic conversion cache end to end, which the direct converter checks do not.
• The full-workspace gate failure is environmental. Every failing test is in moq-uring and panics with io_uring memory counts against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK (8192 KiB), shared by every process of this user. This branch does not touch moq-uring, and hosted CI's Test job passes. The tests-under-load quest owns that.
• Merged current main (5ce4ab1). Its one conflict was doc/lib/rs/moq-video.md. Main cut that page to features only (docs: keep the site on features and correct publisher restarts #5033) and dropped the old Vulkan/CUDA paragraphs this PR had rewritten, so main's version stands. The unread-slot rule stays on Slot::publish in rustdoc.
• CodeRabbit on b4d4c24 (a69f911). NVENC now registers its CUDA reader before reserving a conversion buffer, so an exhausted pool returns the producer slot instead of losing it. just rs gpu skips non-GPU display controllers (such as a BMC VGA) instead of failing. The gpu-ci quest now describes vulkan-cuda.sh as it is. Declined: comparing devices by UUID only, rejecting Memory::DmaBuf up front, and guessing the NVIDIA ICD libraries without hardware. Each has a reply on its thread. Public API: none. Wire: none.

Decisions

The approach holds up: the device declared in encode::Config, producer-owned slots, and CUDA import kept behind NVENC all match the quest's decisions. The maintainer settled the open shapes:

1. An unread published frame loses its slot for good.
   • ✅ (a) Keep it and document "publish only what you will encode" on Slot::publish and in the docs. Slot recycling is a follow-up quest.
   • (b) Return the slot anyway, marked so the next handoff waits on the producer's own ready value.
2. The external image's pixel format.
   • ✅ Rename vulkan::Channels to vulkan::Format { Rgba8, Bgra8 } (with Image::format and Frame::format), since its variants are exact Vulkan formats.
   • Keep vulkan::Channels { Rgba, Bgra }.
3. Nits.
   • ✅ vulkan::Handles keeps its public fields; the redundant Handles::new is gone.
   • ✅ The internal DmaBuf::adopt takes a DmaBufLayout instead of seven positional arguments.
   • ✅ encode::Config::input keeps its name.
4. Quest bookkeeping.
   • ✅ Delete quest/m2/gpu-surface.md and make the vulkan_cuda_ NVENC hardware check explicit in quest/m1/gpu-ci.md. Done in b4d4c24: references to the deleted quest are now plain text or removed from Required lists.

Validation

• just check (base origin/main) on cd5f5a2 stops only on moq-uring memlock ENOMEM. cargo nextest run -p moq-video --features nvidia,vaapi,pipewire,dmabuf: 276 passed, 9 skipped. Clippy with those features and just rs _lint pass.
• On d475222, a full --no-fail-fast workspace run: 6,484 tests: 6,426 passed, 14 skipped, and 58 failed, all of them moq-uring memlock ENOMEM. just rs _lint passed.
• Earlier on this branch: just rs test -p moq-video --no-default-features --features dmabuf passed, and just rs gpu verified the AMD and Intel Vulkan drivers on the author's PC.
• Hardware validation is still pending. No NVIDIA GPU has run the vulkan_cuda_ tests on this branch. The iteration host has only /dev/nvidiactl and no device, so CUDA import, NVENC output parity, the new pixel checks, and the three-view workload timings are unverified. Running them on real NVIDIA hardware belongs to GPU CI (just rs gpu, NVIDIA branch).

Follow-ups

An unread frame fails completion and releases its producer guard instead of recycling an unsignalled slot. The guard must safely finish or cancel its own queued Vulkan writes before destroying the allocation; CPU lifetime tests check retention and release, while the producer must verify its GPU teardown. AMD and VA-API external Vulkan encoding remain in their existing quests.

Implemented and pushed the neutral external Vulkan surface quest at 8a4bbfe2a2843c24cd2ac0efc641d8b34b5acf01, integrating main 3a09113ee2fbd8feeec1e8f7a34699b0c9a22509.

Focused validation passed: 146 default moq-video tests, 99 no-NVIDIA/DMA-BUF tests, just fix, focused rustdoc/format/dependency checks, quest check, and AMD/Intel driver detection through just rs gpu.

The full local gate remains failed: moq-uring's pool-backpressure test hit ENOMEM under the user's shared 8192 KiB memlock limit. 6,081 tests passed, one failed, 13 were skipped, and 212 were unrun. The sources/configuration are unchanged from main. The test passed in the one isolated characterization on clean main; existing PR #4965 records the same host constraint, and the existing tests-under-load quest owns the fix.

Keep this PR a draft. Before readiness, run just rs gpu on the NVIDIA demo PC and complete the full gate once the unrelated tests-under-load problem is addressed. The producer must verify that its guard safely finishes or cancels queued writes when an unread frame fails completion.

Reviewed commit: 8a4bbfe

Direction: the neutral producer-owned slot API and device-bound eager backend selection are a coherent improvement. I inspected all 20 changed files, including import caching, conversion sharing, completion ownership, DMA-BUF adoption, feature gates, and hardware-test routing; no substantiated newly introduced production-code defect found in this static pass.

Non-blocking validation recommendation: rs/moq-video/src/frame/cuda_test.rs:532–533 checks only decoded frame count and dimensions in the new automatic external-input path. Add per-plane pixel comparisons against the existing CPU conversion/resize reference for both renditions and successive captures, ideally covering both RGBA and BGRA. Correctly sized stale, black, or wrongly converted output currently passes this test; the existing direct-converter checks do not exercise the new automatic conversion cache end to end.

Verification limits: no compilation, tests, or GPU execution performed in this review. The reported CPU tests do not establish CUDA/NVENC behavior. Keep the existing NVIDIA just rs gpu readiness requirement and producer-guard teardown verification; the PR also reports an unresolved full-workspace gate failure. This comment is not a merge-readiness endorsement.

[coderabbitai]

Walkthrough

The changes add public Linux APIs for external Vulkan images and DMA-BUF layouts. Encoder configuration can specify a Vulkan device, and Linux selection filters candidates by import support. NVENC matches the CUDA device, imports Vulkan images, converts them, and scales output renditions. The changes also add GPU vendor detection and hardware test coverage, update DMA-BUF capture construction, and revise library documentation and GPU-related plans.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b4d4c

External DMA-BUF encoding fails and can permanently consume producer slots; pool exhaustion can do the same. Fix those paths before merging, then complete NVIDIA hardware validation.

Reviewed commit: d475222

Compared with the prior reviewed commit 8a4bbfe, accounting for the main merge: the substantive PR delta is confined to cuda_test.rs; the other 19 file patches retain the same additions/deletions.

Prior recommendation addressed in code: rs/moq-video/src/frame/cuda_test.rs:586–600 now compares decoded Y/U/V planes against the CPU conversion/resize reference for both renditions across six captures in RGBA and BGRA. Lines 505–524 also check adjacent captures are distinguishable at both sizes, improving stale-frame detection. This is the right validation direction for the shared automatic conversion cache. No new actionable defect found in this incremental static review.

Still unverified: the new assertions and CUDA/NVENC path need an actual NVIDIA just rs gpu run, plus producer-guard teardown validation. I performed no compilation, tests, or GPU execution. The reported moq-uring memlock failures remain a separate workspace-gate concern; this review does not establish merge readiness.

Grok review of d4752228

First Grok pass on this PR, so this is a full review of the whole diff against main. Moving the Vulkan input device into encode::Config::input and the CUDA import behind NVENC holds together. Import/FD ownership in cuda_vulkan.rs, the per-slot import cache, conversion sharing (convert synchronizes before a second rendition resizes on another stream), and the Backend drop-on-worker-thread case all look correct. The findings are about backpressure and the hardware tooling, not the core import.

Should fix

1. Pool exhaustion is now a fatal-looking error, and it costs the producer its slot (rs/moq-video/src/encode/backend/nvenc.rs:257, :265). Before this PR, a full pool showed up as Converter::reserve() returning None, which told the producer to drop the frame and keep the slot. Now Encoder::encode returns Error::Unsupported("CUDA conversion pool exhausted"), which looks the same as a permanent refusal like a wrong device. And because reserve() fails before importer.import registers a reader, the vulkan::Frame drops unread. FrameInner::drop (frame/vulkan.rs:359-367) then calls complete(false), so Completion::wait fails and the slot is gone for good. Each converting encoder's pool is a hard-coded 8 (nvenc.rs:232). The cached full-size conversion lives as long as the published frame, so it is drawn from whichever rendition converted first. So a producer with about 8 slots in flight, or one slow rendition holding frames, will hit this. Suggested fix: return a distinct retryable error (for example Error::Busy) so callers can tell backpressure from a permanent refusal. Better still, take the conversion buffer before publish, or size the pool from the producer's slot count, so backpressure never consumes a published slot. This is the same problem as your open question 1, but it also shows up inside NVENC, not only when the producer drops a frame.
2. just rs gpu fails on typical GPU servers (sh/rs/gpu.sh:9-15). Every PCI device with class 0x03* that isn't from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel aborts the run with "Unsupported GPU vendor". Cloud and rack GPU hosts usually also have an ASPEED (0x1a03) or Matrox (0x102b) management VGA, and VMs expose virtio, QEMU, or VMware display devices. So the GPU CI host this PR points to would fail before running any test. Suggested fix: skip unknown vendors with a message, and fail only when no supported GPU is found or a supported one has no driver.
3. The NVIDIA path is still unvalidated. CUDA external-memory and semaphore import, NVENC output, and the new pixel checks have not run on NVIDIA hardware on this branch (the PR body says so too). The import code was rewritten here, so just rs gpu on the NVIDIA box should gate the merge. CI is also still queued for this head (Check, Test, Quest, Linux/macOS/Swift).

Non-blocking

4. External frames skip the size check in both directions (encode/encoder.rs:487). !external && size != self.size accepts a frame smaller than the encoder, or one with a different aspect ratio. NVENC then silently upscales it with the box kernel (nearest-neighbor when upscaling) or stretches it. Encoder::size says external inputs "may be larger", so refuse frames that are smaller in either dimension.
5. Device equality includes render_node (encoder.rs:474). self.input != Some(device) uses the derived PartialEq, so the same GPU is refused if the frame's Image and Config::input disagree only on the optional render_node. Nothing in the backend uses render_node for matching, so compare the device and driver UUIDs only.
6. Memory::DmaBuf slots pass Slot::new and select, but NVENC refuses them on every frame ("CUDA accepts only OPAQUE_FD"). Each refusal also drops that frame unread and loses the slot. Either say in the Memory::DmaBuf docs that no backend imports it yet, or refuse it on the first encode with a clearer message.
7. A Vulkan instance per encoder open (nvenc.rs:425). matching_driver creates and destroys a VkInstance on every Encoder::new: every rendition, every reopen when a viewer arrives, and every probe. ICD loading can take tens of milliseconds and lands on that path. Caching the check per Device in a OnceLock or a small map would avoid it.
8. Stale quest text. quest/m1/gpu-ci.md:33-35 still says the NVIDIA script "puts the whole host driver directory on the path, which lets host libraries shadow the Nix ones". After this PR's vulkan-cuda.sh change it symlinks only libcuda, libnvidia-encode, and libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler.
9. Breaking change not flagged in the title. vulkan::Importer, vulkan::ImportError, cuda::Converter, and cuda::Slot leave the public API, and Slot::new changes shape. The repo convention for that is feat(video)!:, so release-plz and the changelog should mark it as breaking.

Verdict: ITERATE. Give pool exhaustion a retryable error that doesn't burn the slot, and make gpu.sh tolerate non-GPU display controllers. Then merge after an NVIDIA just rs gpu run and green CI.

Grok follow-up on cd5f5a29

Re-review after the push from d4752228 to cd5f5a29. The only new commit is refactor(video)!: name the external image format vulkan::Format. It renames vulkan::Channels { Rgba, Bgra } to vulkan::Format { Rgba8, Bgra8 } (and channels() to format()), drops Handles::new in favor of its public fields, makes DmaBuf::adopt take a DmaBufLayout, and adds "publish only what you will encode" to the Slot::publish docs and the README/site docs. The mechanical rename looks complete: no stale Channels or Handles::new uses remain at this head, and the adopt call sites build the same layout as before.

Earlier findings

1. Pool exhaustion burns the slot: still open. The new docs cover a producer that drops a frame before it reaches an encoder. They don't cover the case this finding was about. nvenc.rs:257 and :265 still return Error::Unsupported("CUDA conversion/resize pool exhausted") after publish, from inside Encoder::encode, with the hard-coded pool of 8 (nvenc.rs:232). The producer can't see that pool, so following "publish only what you will encode" doesn't protect it. The frame still drops unread, complete(false) fires, and the slot is lost. Pool exhaustion is also still indistinguishable from a permanent refusal. The suggested fix still applies: use a retryable error, or reserve the conversion buffer before the frame is consumed, or size the pool from the producer's slot count.
2. gpu.sh aborts on non-GPU display controllers: still open (sh/rs/gpu.sh:11-14, unchanged).
3. NVIDIA path unvalidated: still open. No NVIDIA just rs gpu result has been posted, and CI is queued again for this head.
4. External frames skip the size check: still open (encoder.rs:487).
5. render_node in device equality: still open (encoder.rs:474).
6. Memory::DmaBuf slots refused on every frame: still open. No doc note or early refusal yet.
7. Vulkan instance per encoder open: still open.
8. Stale quest/m1/gpu-ci.md:33-35 text: still open.
9. Breaking change not flagged: still open, and now bigger. vulkan::Channels and Handles::new both exist on main, so this push adds two more public-API breaks. The commit is marked refactor(video)!:, but the PR title is still feat(video): accept external Vulkan encoder inputs. If the squash commit takes the PR title, release-plz and the changelog won't mark it as breaking. Rename the title to feat(video)!: ....

No new issues in this push.

Verdict: ITERATE. Same as before: fix pool exhaustion so it doesn't burn a published slot, make gpu.sh tolerate management VGAs and virtual display devices, and add ! to the PR title. Then merge after an NVIDIA just rs gpu run and green CI.

Reviewed commit: cd5f5a2

No new actionable correctness finding in the 11-file delta since d475222. The public API refactor consistently carries Format::{Rgba8,Bgra8} through image descriptors, CUDA conversion, and tests; removing Handles::new preserves FD ownership. DmaBuf::adopt and its PipeWire/VA-API callers preserve the previous dimensions, plane layouts, color, and validation through DmaBufLayout.

Direction remains sound. The explicit unread-slot documentation makes the existing backpressure/lifetime contract clearer. The prior pixel-validation recommendation remains addressed in rs/moq-video/src/frame/cuda_test.rs:505–524,586–600; its assertions are unchanged by this rename.

Verification: GitHub-only static incremental review; no compilation, tests, or GPU execution. NVIDIA just rs gpu and safe producer-guard teardown are still unverified. Check and Platform workflows for this commit were queued when checked. This review does not establish merge readiness.

Expose the NVIDIA Vulkan ICD dependencies for these tests.

Producer::open creates a Vulkan instance and enumerates NVIDIA devices. This script exposes only CUDA and NVENC libraries. If the Nix Vulkan loader cannot independently resolve the host NVIDIA ICD and its dependencies, the tests can fail before device enumeration. Expose the ICD manifest and the libraries it names without adding the full host directory, or keep the Vulkan tests in a separate recipe.

Deferring to /quest/m1/gpu-ci.md, which already requires this: point the loader at the host NVIDIA ICD manifest and expose the libraries it names, or give the tests their own recipe. Those libraries vary by driver version, and no NVIDIA host is available here. Choosing them blind would be a guess. The quest's first hardware run is where it gets verified.

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5)

[coderabbitai]

@kixelated Thanks for the guidance. Deferring verification to the first NVIDIA hardware run in quest/m1/gpu-ci.md makes sense. The dependency list should come from the host NVIDIA ICD manifest, not a guessed list.

The finding remains open pending that verification. Would you like a follow-up issue linked to the quest?

The libraries vary by driver version. quest/m1/gpu-ci.md covers exposing the manifest and its libraries, or providing a separate test recipe.

Grok follow-up on a69f9114

Re-review after the push from cd5f5a29 (the last Grok review) to a69f9114. b4d4c24b was quest-only and 5ce4ab1c is a merge of main. The only new code is in a69f9114, fix(video): read external Vulkan frames before reserving a CUDA buffer. It calls Converter::import inside the converted closure before reserve() (nvenc.rs:255-257), so the frame has a registered reader before the pool can run out. It also makes gpu.sh skip unsupported display controllers, and it rewrites the stale gpu-ci.md paragraph.

The fix is sound. vulkan::Frame::import is cached per slot and read is a no-op when the same reader is already registered, so the second importer.import inside Slot::convert doesn't double-register or double-wait. With a reader set, FrameInner::drop goes through Reader::finish, which queues the timeline signal and calls complete(true). An exhausted pool now hands the slot back to the producer instead of complete(false) dropping it. The resize branch (nvenc.rs:268) was already safe, because converted has registered the reader by then. pending_cut also survives the failed encode, so a keyframe request isn't lost.

Earlier findings

1. Pool exhaustion burns the slot: fixed for the slot, but part of it is still open (now non-blocking). The producer gets its slot back. The frame is still dropped with Error::Unsupported("CUDA conversion/resize pool exhausted") (nvenc.rs:260, :268), which looks the same as a permanent refusal like a device mismatch. A caller that tears down on Unsupported will still kill the track under a short burst. A distinct, retryable error variant (or documenting that this one is transient) would close it. There's also no test for this path. A vulkan_cuda_ hardware test that opens the converter with a pool of 1, holds one converted frame, encodes a second, and asserts that the second slot's completion resolves Ok would lock it in.
2. gpu.sh aborts on non-GPU display controllers: fixed. Unknown vendors now continue, and a host with only a BMC or virtual adapter still fails with "No supported PCI GPU detected", which is right.
3. NVIDIA path unvalidated: still open, now deferred. The hardware check is handed to quest/m1/gpu-ci.md as a maintainer decision. No just rs gpu result has been posted, and every CI job for this head is still queued.
4. External frames skip the size check: unchanged (encoder.rs:486). The doc comment now says the backend scales external inputs on the GPU, so this is fine if that's intended.
5. render_node in device equality: unchanged (encoder.rs:474).
6. Memory::DmaBuf slots refused on every frame: unchanged.
7. Vulkan instance per encoder open: unchanged.
8. Stale quest/m1/gpu-ci.md text: fixed. It now correctly says sh/rs/vulkan-cuda.sh already symlinks only libcuda, libnvidia-encode and libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler, and that it should be widened rather than duplicated.
9. Breaking change not flagged: still open. The PR title is still feat(video): accept external Vulkan encoder inputs, while the branch removes vulkan::Channels and Handles::new from main's public API. Rename it to feat(video)!: ... so the squash commit and release-plz mark it as breaking.

No new issues in this push.

Verdict: ITERATE. This is close. Add ! to the PR title. Ideally, also give pool exhaustion a retryable error. Then merge once CI is green, with the NVIDIA hardware run left to the gpu-ci quest as you decided.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: a69f911

Incremental review since cd5f5a2, excluding changes brought in by the main merge. Direction remains sound; no new actionable correctness defect found.

• rs/moq-video/src/encode/backend/nvenc.rs:254–262 and rs/moq-video/src/frame/cuda.rs:450–454 fix the existing pool-exhaustion slot loss: registration queues the producer-ready wait before reserve can fail, and the retained reader completes the slot after the last frame clone drops. Cache hits skip this work. Independently verified the fix to CodeRabbit's finding.
• sh/rs/gpu.sh:10–26 correctly skips unrecognized display controllers while preserving failure for a supported GPU without a driver and for no supported GPU, addressing the existing finding.

Non-blocking regression recommendation, also independently noted in Grok's follow-up: rs/moq-video/src/frame/cuda_test.rs:178–200 tests pool capacity only after a reader already exists; the automatic encode test at :533–609 does not exhaust its pool. Add an opt-in test that retains enough conversions to exhaust the NVENC pool, encodes a fresh published image, drops all its clones after the expected exhaustion error, and verifies its completion returns a slot that can be published again. This would catch removal or misplacement of the new registration.

Verification: GitHub-only static review; no compilation, tests, or GPU execution. NVIDIA pixel parity, this exhaustion path, ICD/library setup, and producer-guard GPU teardown remain unverified. Check and Platform workflows for this head were queued when checked; this is not a merge-readiness endorsement.

Merge summary

Head a69f9114784576e13c8948e98e68215e887512bf, reviewed by the OpenAI review (no actionable defects).

This round

• Merged main. Its one conflict was doc/lib/rs/moq-video.md. docs: keep the site on features and correct publisher restarts #5033 cut that page to features only and dropped the Vulkan/CUDA paragraphs this PR had rewritten, so main's version stands. The unread-slot rule stays on Slot::publish in rustdoc.
• CodeRabbit on b4d4c24b:
  • Fixed: NVENC registers its CUDA reader before reserving a conversion buffer, so an exhausted pool returns the producer slot instead of losing it.
  • Fixed: just rs gpu skips non-GPU display controllers.
  • Fixed: the gpu-ci quest's stale vulkan-cuda.sh text.
  • Declined: comparing devices by UUID only, and rejecting Memory::DmaBuf up front. CodeRabbit withdrew both.
  • Deferred to /quest/m1/gpu-ci.md: the NVIDIA ICD libraries, which need a hardware host.
• Title is now feat(video)! because the branch removes public items (vulkan::Channels, Handles::new, vulkan::Importer, cuda::Converter).

Settled earlier by the maintainer: vulkan::Format, the Handles/DmaBuf::adopt nits, documenting unread-slot loss, and deleting quest/m2/gpu-surface.md with the NVENC hardware check handed to quest/m1/gpu-ci.md.

Validation: just check locally. The only failures are moq-uring tests hitting the host's RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. The NVIDIA hardware path is unverified here and belongs to GPU CI.

Follow-ups, not blocking

• A vulkan_cuda_ hardware test that exhausts the NVENC conversion pool and checks that the slot comes back. OpenAI and Grok both suggested it.
• Pool exhaustion surfaces as Error::Unsupported, the same error as a permanent refusal. A retryable error, or documenting it as transient, would let callers tell the two apart.

Public API: breaking, as listed in the description. Wire: none.
