fix(compositor): match the Linux background blur to the HLSL/Metal Kawase - #681
Conversation
…wase The WGSL port used its own kernels (5-tap up, no axis taps) and a 2.0-texel offset, while shaders.hlsl and shaders.metal use hp = texel * 0.5 * 2.2 with a 5-tap down and an 8-tap up. Blur BG on Linux came out about 1.36x wider (sigma 17.7 vs 13.0 px at 1080p) and up to 21-29 levels off at edges. Port ps_kawase_down/up verbatim, pass 1/source size in fx.xy and 2.2 in fx.z like compositor_windows::blur_bg, and keep the sampled alpha as the other backends do. The Layer uniform layout is unchanged. Add a lavapipe test that blurs a step edge and compares it to a CPU model of the HLSL kernels within 3 levels; the old port misses by 21.

Addressed CodeRabbit review feedback in c309a82: derived hw, qw, and ow using integer division and .max(1) matching mk_pyr so that src_px uses the exact integer texture dimensions, and added a test covering non-multiples of 8 (854 px). |
Summary
"Blur BG" was not the same effect on Linux.
blur.wgslused different dual-Kawase kernels fromshaders.hlslandshaders.metal, and a different offset.On a CPU model of both chains, Linux blurred about 1.36× wider (σ 17.7 px against 13.0 px at 1080p). The worst gap on a step edge was 29 levels.
Nothing in the history marks this as deliberate. The file's own header cites the HLSL kernels and "offset 2.2", and the commit that added
blur_bgon Linux calls itself a 1:1 port.Changes
fs_kawase_downandfs_kawase_upare now verbatim ports of the HLSL kernels, and keep the sampled alpha as HLSL does.blur_passpasses the source texel infx.xyand the offset 2.2 infx.z, the Windows and macOS convention.blur_bgalready passed source sizes, so it is unchanged.native-compositor.mdnow gives σ ≈ 13 px and says the kernels are the same on all three backends.Drift check. Two Linux tests blur a step edge with the real
blur_bg, one per axis. They compare the result to a CPU model of the HLSL kernels, within 3 levels. They run inrust-linux-compositor-checkon lavapipe.Related issue
None filed.
