ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY when there isn't a suitable AMD GPU in the host system

RyuzakiKK commented 1 year ago

Description

If you install AMDVLK in a system where there isn't a suitable AMD GPU, Vulkan programs might crash when they try to load the library amdvlk64.so.

Steps to reproduce

Use a PC with an Intel or NVIDIA GPU
Install your expected GPU Vulkan drivers (e.g. on Arch Linux vulkan-intel)
Launch vulkaninfo
Install amdvlk (I'm using Arch Linux with amdvlk 2022.Q4.4)
Launch again vulkaninfo

Expected behavior

vulkaninfo should always work.

Actual behavior

After you install AMDVLK, vulkaninfo will fail with vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

Additional info

This seems to be the same problem that has been reported a few years ago in https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/issues/187. Maybe the fix regressed in a recent AMDVLK update?

could you try 2023.Q1.3 please?

could you try 2023.Q1.3 please?

I just tried it with Ubuntu 22.04 because Arch Linux still has the older amdvlk. I used a laptop with an integrated Intel GPU. After installing mesa-vulkan-drivers and vulkan-tools, vulkaninfo was working correctly.

Then I downloaded the prebuilt amdvlk 2023.Q1.3 and installed it with apt install ./amdvlk_2023.Q1.3_amd64.deb. After that vulkaninfo started to crash with vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

So unfortunately it seems like the problem has not been fixed yet.
