My system is Linux archlinux 4.15.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 10 00:00:33 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux.
My gpu is intel hd graphics 630.
I installed latest mesa from git (18.1.0_devel.100894.fcf267ba08)

When recording command buffer I get error:

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

anv_state_stream_alloc (stream=stream@entry=0x55559dbf9dd8, size=64, alignment=alignment@entry=32) at vulkan/anv_allocator.c:913

I send push constants with matrix and color (80 bytes) for both stages. The limit is 128 bytes so it should be fine. I get no validation output from standard layer.

I zipped vktrace file and put on dropbox because it is too big (40MB): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ko5cqlrb5baj2wy/trace.7z?dl=0
Comment 2 Vyacheslav 2018-03-15 12:03:38 UTC
I recompiled mesa with --enable-debug and now I get assert failed which is more useful.

14 in gen9_cmd_buffer_flush_state of vulkan/genX_cmd_buffer.c:2571
15 in gen9_CmdDrawIndexed of vulkan/genX_cmd_buffer.c:2709

This assert fails:
assert(size - center_bo_offset <=
          BLOCK_POOL_MEMFD_SIZE - BLOCK_POOL_MEMFD_CENTER);
Because size=1073741824 is more than 1GB and block pools are restricted by 1GB:
/* Block pools are backed by a fixed-size 1GB memfd */
#define BLOCK_POOL_MEMFD_SIZE (1ul << 30)

Still don't know how to fix it. Is it valid behavior? Why it's not handled by validation layers? Should I use a new command pool for next portion of objects?
Comment 3 Vyacheslav 2018-03-15 17:11:00 UTC
So the root cause is the anv_allocator. Command buffer takes up a lot of maped memory: 2320+4096+16384 bytes for anv_cmd_buffer and surface state, dynamic state. Then allocator rounds this to be power of 2 - 32KB. So one command buffer takes up 32KB. And maximum amount of maped memory per device is 1GB. It's enough for ~32000 command buffers. After that mmap fails.

So default allocator was designed for small number of command buffers.

Workaround is to use one command buffer per frame (or per thread). Just record everything inside primary command buffer. It is worse for performance but it is better for mmap and it solved the problem.

If you are using enough secondary command buffers to blow past the 1GB limit, then you are probably going to get garbage performance anyway.  We have to do a full GPU on every vkCmdExecuteCommands so, while performance is probably fine if secondary command buffers are used sparingly, over-use of them can cause significant perf problems.

I think there still is something of a driver bug here in that we really should be throwing VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY instead of asserting or getting you int a situation where you can get SIGBUS.
