These two extensions and two features are both optionally used by
libplacebo to speed up rendering, so it makes sense for libavutil to
automatically enable them as well.
Vulkan formats with a PACK suffix define native endianess.
Vulkan formats without a PACK suffix are in bytestream order.
Pixel formats with a LE/BE suffix define endianess.
Pixel formats without LE/BE suffix are in bytestream order.
This relies on the fact that host memory is always going to be required
to be aligned to the platform's page size, which means we can adjust
the pointers when we map them to buffers and therefore skip an entire
copy. This has already had extensive testing in libplacebo without
problems, so its safe to use here as well.
Speeds up downloads and uploads on platforms which do not pool their
memory hugely, but less so on platforms that do.
We can pool the buffers ourselves, but that can come as a later patch
if necessary.
The process space is guaranteed to be aligned to the page size, hence we're
never going to map outside of our address space.
There are more optimizations to do with respect to chroma plane alignment and
buffer offsets, but that can be done later.
We want to copy the lowest amount of bytes per line, but while the buffer
stride is sanitized, the src/dst stride can be negative, and negative numbers
of bytes do not make a lot of sense.
This was never actually used, likely due to confusion, as the device context
also had one used for uploads and downloads.
Also, since we're only using it for very quick image barriers (which are
practically free on all hardware), use the compute queue instead of the
transfer queue.
This commit makes full use of the enabled queues to provide asynchronous
uploads of images (downloads remain synchronous).
For a pure uploading use cases, the performance gains can be significant.
With this, the puzzle of making libplacebo, ffmpeg and any other Vulkan
API users interoperable is complete.
Users of both libraries can initialize one another's contexts without having
to create a new one.
This allows for users who derive devices to set options for the
new device context they derive.
The main use case of this is to allow users to enable extensions
(such as surface drawing extensions) in Vulkan while deriving from
the device their frames are on. That way, users don't need to write
any initialization code themselves, since the Vulkan spec invalidates
mixing instances, physical devices and active devices.
Apart from Vulkan, other hwcontexts ignore the opts argument since they
don't support options at all (or in VAAPI and OpenCL's case, options are
currently only used for device selection, which device_derive overrides).
Only warn instead. API users can find out which extensions were unavailable
by using the enabled_inst_extensions and enabled_dev_extensions fields.
This eliminates having to trial-and-error to find which extensions were missing.
Due to our AVHWDevice infrastructure, where API users are offered a way
to derive contexts rather than always create new one, our filterchains,
being supported by a single hardware device context, can grow to considerable
size.
Hence, in such situations, using the maximum amount of queues the device offers
can be benefitial to eliminating bottlenecks where queue submissions on the
same family have to wait for the previous one to finish.
This reverts commit 97b526c192.
It broke the API, and assumed no other APIs used multiple semaphores.
This also disallowed certain optimizations to happen.
Dealing with APIs that give or expect single semaphores is easier when
we use per-image semaphores.
The specs note that images should be in the GENERAL layout when exporting
for maximum compatibility.
CUDA exported images are handled differently, and the queue is the same,
so we don't need to do that there.
As it turns out, we were already assuming and treating all images as if they had
concurrent access mode. This just changes the flag to CONCURRENT, which has less
restrictions than EXCLUSIVE, and fixed validation messages on machines with
multiple queues.
The validation layer didn't pick this up because the machine I was testing on
had only a single queue.
This solves a huge oversight - it lets users reliably use their own
AVVulkanDeviceContext. Otherwise, the extensions supplied and enabled
are not discoverable by anything outside of hwcontext_vulkan.
Also clarifies that any user-supplied VkInstance must be at least 1.1.
Also documents all options supported by the hwdevice.
This lets users enable all extensions they need without writing their own
instance initialization code.
We derive the destination buffer stride from the input stride,
which meant if the image was flipped with a negative stride,
we'd be FFALIGNING a negative number which ends up being huge,
thus making the Vulkan buffer allocation fail and the whole
image transfer fail.
Only found out about this as OpenGL compositors can copy an entire
image with a single call if its flipped, rather than iterate over
each line.
The idea was to allow separate planes to be filtered independently, however,
in hindsight, literaly nothing uses separate per-plane semaphores and it
would only work when each plane is backed by separate device memory.
The specifications are very vague about who has ownership, and in this case,
Vulkan takes ownership of all DMABUF FDs passed to it, causing errors
to occur if someone gave us images for mapping which were meant to be kept.
The old behavior worked with one-way VAAPI and DMABUF imports, but was broken
with clients like wlroots' dmabuf-capture.
There was a recent change in Intel's driver that triggered a driver-internal
error if the semaphore given to the command buffer wasn't initialized.
Given that the specifications require the semaphore to be initialized,
this is within spec. Unlike what's causing it in the first place, which is
that there are no ways to extract/import dma sync objects from DMABUFs,
so we must leave our semaphores bare.
