We recently introduced a public field which was a superset
of the queue context we used to have.
Switch to using it entirely.
This also allows us to get rid of the NIH function which was
valid only for video queues.
This code was simply incorrect through and through. It did not
protect what actually has to be protected in a multi-threaded setup.
Perhaps it was used to silence threading errors?
Either way, remove it, and document the correct way to use execution
pools in a threaded environment.
The code used to use atomic, but over time, this got broken.
This commit also remmoves the is-the-last-submission-ready
shortcut, which rarely did anything.
There's also value in relying on the fact that contexts
always carry their frames in a strictly incremental order
with no gaps.
The code used as a basis was the buffer dependency code, where the
counter was incremented after each buffer, but for the sw_frame dep
API, we only support adding individual frames at a time.
This function is only used for filtering and generic compute.
The issue is that a view inherits the usage flags from the image
by default, and the spec says the view format must be compatible
with the usage. VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo allows us to filter out
the indeded uses of the imageview.
Pffff.
When using **integer** images inside shaders, it turns out
that conversion doesn't automatically happen, but we need to
explicitly use the imageviews to get the image exposed as
a suitable representation for the shader.
Finally enables bitexact image representations.
The original either reported 8 or 16-bit conversion from the
original, rather than being able to return the actual original.
This makes it usable in a situation where preserving exactness
is required.
The flexible array member struct can have padding added by
the compiler which was not taken into account properly, which
could lead to a heap buffer overflow.
Push descriptors are in theory slightly faster, but come with
limitations for which we have to check.
Either way, they're not difficult to implement, so even though
no one should be using peasant-tier descriptors, do it anyway.
This permits:
- The use of Vulkan filtering on many more devices
- Better debugging due to lack of descriptor buffer support in layers
Much of the changes here are due to a requirement that updates to
descriptors must happen between the command buffer being waited on,
and the pipeline not being bound.
We routinely did it the other way around, by updating only after
we bind the pipeline.
