Nvidia recently introduced a new memory type for data streaming
(awesome!), but yuzu was assuming that all heaps had enough memory
for the assumed stream buffer size (256 MiB).
This worked fine on AMD but Nvidia's new memory heap was smaller than
256 MiB. This commit changes this assumption and allocates a bit less
than the size of the preferred heap, with a maximum of 256 MiB (to avoid
allocating all system memory on integrated devices).
- Fixes a crash on NVIDIA 450.82.0.0
The stream buffer before this commit once it was full (no more bytes to
write before looping) waiting for all previous operations to finish.
This was a temporary solution and had a noticeable performance penalty
in performance (from what a profiler showed).
To avoid this mark with fences usages of the stream buffer and once it
loops wait for them to be signaled. On average this will never wait.
Each fence knows where its usage finishes, resulting in a non-paged
stream buffer.
On the other side, the buffer cache is reimplemented using the generic
buffer cache. It makes use of the staging buffer pool and the new
stream buffer.
Instead of passing by copy an execution context through out the whole
Vulkan call hierarchy, use a command buffer view and fence view
approach.
This internally dereferences the command buffer or fence forcing the
user to be unable to use an outdated version of it on normal usage.
It is still possible to keep store an outdated if it is casted to
VKFence& or vk::CommandBuffer.
While changing this file, add an extra parameter for Flush and Finish to
allow releasing the fence from this calls.
This manages two kinds of streaming buffers: one for unified memory
models and one for dedicated GPUs. The first one skips the copy from the
staging buffer to the real buffer, since it creates an unified buffer.
This implementation waits for all fences to finish their operation
before "invalidating". This is suboptimal since it should allocate
another buffer or start searching from the beginning. There is room for
improvement here.
This could also handle AMD's "pinned" memory (a heap with 256 MiB) that
seems to be designed for buffer streaming.
