2022-11-11render/vulkan: add a command buffer poolSimon Ser
Before re-using a VkCommandBuffer, we need to wait for its operations to complete. Right now we unconditionally wait for rendering to complete in vulkan_end(), however we have plans to fix this [1]. To fully avoid blocking, we need to handle multiple command buffers in flight at the same time (e.g. for multi-output, or for rendering followed by texture uploads). Implement a pool of command buffers. When we need to render, we pick a command buffer from the pool which has completed its operations. If we don't find one, try to allocate a new command buffer. If we don't have slots in the pool anymore, block like we did before. [1]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/3574
2022-11-11render/vulkan: switch to timeline semaphoresSimon Ser
Up until now we were using a VkFence for GPU-to-CPU synchronization. This has some limitations that become a blocker when trying to have multiple command buffers in flight at once (e.g. for multi-output). It's desirable to implement a command buffer pool [1], but VkFence cannot be used to track command buffer completion for individual subpasses. Let's just switch to timeline semaphores [2], which fix this issue, make synchronization a lot more ergonomic and are a core Vulkan 1.2 feature.

2022-11-07render/vulkan: use wl_array for wlr_vk_shared_buffer.allocsSimon Ser
Avoids the need to open-code the realloc() logic.
2022-11-07render/vulkan: fix and add missing wl_list commentsSimon Ser
In wlroots we add comments near struct wl_list members to indicate which type it's linked to. The Vulkan renderer had some comments with mistakes, and some members without a comment.
2022-11-04render/vulkan: drop outdated commentsSimon Ser
2022-11-04render/vulkan: remove exts arg from vulkan_instance_create()Simon Ser
2022-11-04render/vulkan: add caching to vulkan_read_pixelsDavid96
2022-10-10render/vulkan: drop wlr_vk_instance.extensionsSimon Ser
This was unused. Even if it was, it'd be better to have bool fields instead.
2022-09-30render/vulkan: use addon for wlr_vk_textureSimon Ser
Avoids having to walk the list of all textures.
2022-09-30render/vulkan: use addon for wlr_vk_render_bufferSimon Ser
Avoids having to walk the list containing all of the render buffers.
2022-09-07render/vulkan: drop wlr_vk_device.extensionsSimon Ser
We don't need to store the list of enabled extensions. While at it, rename variables to be less confusing.
2022-09-07render/vulkan: drop ext params from vulkan_device_create()Simon Ser
These are unused.
2021-11-17Remove support for DMA-BUF flagsSimon Ser
They are never used in practice, which makes all of our flag handling effectively dead code. Also, APIs such as KMS don't provide a good way to deal with the flags. Let's just fail the DMA-BUF import when clients provide flags.
2021-10-18render/vulkan: add Vulkan renderernyorain
This new renderer is implemented with the existing wlr_renderer API (which is known to be sub-optimal for some operations). It's not used by default, but users can opt-in by setting WLR_RENDERER=vulkan. The renderer depends on VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier and VK_EXT_physical_device_drm.
