RADV Lands Experimental Host Image Copy Support (VK_EXT_host_image_copy)

Making it into the RADV Vulkan driver ahead of this week's Mesa 25.2 feature freeze is experimental support for the VK_EXT_host_image_copy extension. Only now thanks to work by AMD on their Addrlib library, it's becoming possible to support VK_EXT_host_image_copy on modern Radeon GPUs but with some current limitations -- possible performance issues -- and thus being treated as experimental and disabled by default. Hopefully an updated Addrlib comes soon for dealing with the performance issues for non-linear surfaces.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
