An application may wish to reference device memory in multiple Vulkan
|
|
logical devices or instances, in multiple processes, and/or in multiple
|
|
APIs.
|
|
This extension enables an application to export POSIX file descriptor
|
|
handles from Vulkan memory objects and to import Vulkan memory objects from
|
|
POSIX file descriptor handles exported from other Vulkan memory objects or
|
|
from similar resources in other APIs.
|
|
|
|
=== New Object Types
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
=== New Enum Constants
|
|
|
|
* ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_MEMORY_FD_INFO_KHR
|
|
* ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_FD_PROPERTIES_KHR
|
|
* ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_GET_FD_INFO_KHR
|
|
|
|
=== New Enums
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
=== New Structs
|
|
|
|
* slink:VkImportMemoryFdInfoKHR
|
|
* slink:VkMemoryFdPropertiesKHR
|
|
* slink:VkMemoryGetFdInfoKHR
|
|
|
|
=== New Functions
|
|
|
|
* flink:vkGetMemoryFdKHR
|
|
* flink:vkGetMemoryFdPropertiesKHR
|
|
|
|
=== Issues
|
|
|
|
1) Does the application need to close the file descriptor returned by
|
|
flink:vkGetMemoryFdKHR?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: Yes, unless it is passed back in to a driver instance to import
|
|
the memory.
|
|
A successful get call transfers ownership of the file descriptor to the
|
|
application, and a successful import transfers it back to the driver.
|
|
Destroying the original memory object will not close the file descriptor or
|
|
remove its reference to the underlying memory resource associated with it.
|
|
|
|
2) Do drivers ever need to expose multiple file descriptors per memory
|
|
object?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: No.
|
|
This would indicate there are actually multiple memory objects, rather than
|
|
a single memory object.
|
|
|
|
3) How should the valid size and memory type for POSIX file descriptor
|
|
memory handles created outside of Vulkan be specified?
|
|
|
|
*RESOLVED*: The valid memory types are queried directly from the external
|
|
handle.
|
|
The size will be specified by future extensions that introduce such external
|
|
memory handle types.
