highgui: wayland: too high cpu usage #25501

Description

System Information

OpenCV version: 4.x ( 2cd3304 )
Operating System / Platform: Ubuntu 24.04
Compiler & compiler version: GCC 13.2

Detailed description

We expect that cv::waitKey(1000) requests low cpu usage.
However, with Wayland backend, user application runs with 100% cpu usage.

auto elapsed = end_time - start_time;
if (limit.count() > 0 && elapsed >= limit.count()) {
break;
}
auto sleep_time = 64000 - elapsed;
if (sleep_time > 0) {
std::this_thread::sleep_for(ch::nanoseconds(sleep_time));
}

When elapsed is larger then 64000(nanosec = 64 millisec), sleep_time will be negative.
In this case std::this_thread::sleep_for() will not be called.

So CvWlCore::getInstance().display().run_once(); is called again and again.
It makes high CPU usage.

Steps to reproduce

// g++ main.cpp -o a.out -I /usr/local/include/opencv4 -lopencv_core -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_imgcodecs
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  std::cout << "cv::currentUIFramework() returns " << cv::currentUIFramework() << std::endl;

  cv::Mat src;
  src = cv::imread("opencv-logo.png");

  cv::namedWindow("src");

  int key = 0;
  do
  {
      cv::imshow("src", src);
      key = cv::waitKey(1000);
  } while( key != 'q' );
  return 0;
}

Issue submission checklist

  • I report the issue, it's not a question
  • I checked the problem with documentation, FAQ, open issues, forum.opencv.org, Stack Overflow, etc and have not found any solution
  • I updated to the latest OpenCV version and the issue is still there
  • There is reproducer code and related data files (videos, images, onnx, etc)
