While using the validation layer with this pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=10 ! vulkanupload ! vulkancolorconvert ! vulkansink
The validation layer throws this message:
Code 0 : Validation Error: [ VUID-VkAttachmentDescription-format-06699 ]
Object 0: handle = 0x5555562e9610, type = VK_OBJECT_TYPE_DEVICE; | MessageID = 0x52b3229e |
vkCreateRenderPass: pCreateInfo->pAttachments[0] format is
VK_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM and loadOp is VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_LOAD, but
initialLayout is VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED.
The Vulkan spec states: If format includes a color or depth aspect and loadOp is
VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_LOAD, then initialLayout must not be VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED
When creating the render pass the loadOp can be either
`VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR` or `VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_LOAD` depending on
`enable_clear`. While `enable_clear` is FALSE by default (which means
`VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_LOAD`). Nonetheless, its value is explicitly changed by
`vkoverlaycompositor` to FALSE too!
This behavior was introduced in merge request #2470 where
`VK_ATTACHMENT_LOAD_OP_CLEAR` was a fixed value for loadOp. Thus, the bug
consists in a missing initialization of `enable_clear` to TRUE from that merge
request.
