1.2 数据流模型

The diagram above depicts the flow of SurfaceFlinger and BufferQueue. During frame:
1.red buffer fills up, then slides into BufferQueue
2.after red buffer leaves app, blue buffer slides in, replacing it
3.green buffer and systemUI* shadow-slide into HWC (showing that SurfaceFlinger still has the buffers, but now HWC has prepared them for display via overlay on the next VSYNC).

The blue buffer is referenced by both the display and the BufferQueue. The app is not allowed to render to it until the associated sync fence signals.

On VSYNC, all of these happen
