Description

An application using external memory may wish to synchronize access to that memory using semaphores. This extension enables an application to export semaphore payload to and import semaphore payload from POSIX file descriptors.

Issues

1) Does the application need to close the file descriptor returned by getSemaphoreFdKHR?

RESOLVED: Yes, unless it is passed back in to a driver instance to import the semaphore. 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 semaphore object will not close the file descriptor or remove its reference to the underlying semaphore resource associated with it.

Synopsis

Documentation

getSemaphoreFdKHR Source #

Arguments

:: forall io. MonadIO io 
=> Device

device is the logical device that created the semaphore being exported.

device must be a valid Device handle

-> SemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR

pGetFdInfo is a pointer to a SemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR structure containing parameters of the export operation.

pGetFdInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid SemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR structure

-> io ("fd" ::: Int32) 

vkGetSemaphoreFdKHR - Get a POSIX file descriptor handle for a semaphore

Description

Each call to getSemaphoreFdKHR must create a new file descriptor and transfer ownership of it to the application. To avoid leaking resources, the application must release ownership of the file descriptor when it is no longer needed.

Note

Ownership can be released in many ways. For example, the application can call close() on the file descriptor, or transfer ownership back to Vulkan by using the file descriptor to import a semaphore payload.

Where supported by the operating system, the implementation must set the file descriptor to be closed automatically when an execve system call is made.

Exporting a file descriptor from a semaphore may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Semaphore State.

importSemaphoreFdKHR Source #

Arguments

:: forall io. MonadIO io 
=> Device

device is the logical device that created the semaphore.

device must be a valid Device handle

-> ImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR

pImportSemaphoreFdInfo is a pointer to a ImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR structure specifying the semaphore and import parameters.

-> io () 

vkImportSemaphoreFdKHR - Import a semaphore from a POSIX file descriptor

Description

Importing a semaphore payload from a file descriptor transfers ownership of the file descriptor from the application to the Vulkan implementation. The application must not perform any operations on the file descriptor after a successful import.

Applications can import the same semaphore payload into multiple instances of Vulkan, into the same instance from which it was exported, and multiple times into a given Vulkan instance.

Return Codes

Success
Failure

data ImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR Source #

VkImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR - Structure specifying POSIX file descriptor to import to a semaphore

Description

The handle types supported by handleType are:

Handle Type Transference Permanence Supported
EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_OPAQUE_FD_BITReferenceTemporary,Permanent
EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BITCopyTemporary

Handle Types Supported by ImportSemaphoreFdInfoKHR

Valid Usage

If handleType is EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT, the special value -1 for fd is treated like a valid sync file descriptor referring to an object that has already signaled. The import operation will succeed and the Semaphore will have a temporarily imported payload as if a valid file descriptor had been provided.

Note

This special behavior for importing an invalid sync file descriptor allows easier interoperability with other system APIs which use the convention that an invalid sync file descriptor represents work that has already completed and does not need to be waited for. It is consistent with the option for implementations to return a -1 file descriptor when exporting a EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_HANDLE_TYPE_SYNC_FD_BIT from a Semaphore which is signaled.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

Host Synchronization

  • Host access to semaphore must be externally synchronized

VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR - Structure describing a POSIX FD semaphore export operation

Description

The properties of the file descriptor returned depend on the value of handleType. See ExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits for a description of the properties of the defined external semaphore handle types.

Valid Usage

  • semaphore must not currently have its payload replaced by an imported payload as described below in Importing Semaphore Payloads unless that imported payload’s handle type was included in ExternalSemaphoreProperties::exportFromImportedHandleTypes for handleType
  • If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, as defined below in Importing Semaphore Payloads, there must be no queue waiting on semaphore
  • If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, semaphore must be signaled, or have an associated semaphore signal operation pending execution
  • handleType must be defined as a POSIX file descriptor handle
  • If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, semaphore must have been created with a SemaphoreType of SEMAPHORE_TYPE_BINARY
  • If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, semaphore must have an associated semaphore signal operation that has been submitted for execution and any semaphore signal operations on which it depends (if any) must have also been submitted for execution
