S22 Ultra is crashing at startup with Vulkan Memory Allocator

alec · January 23, 2024, 5:37am

More info here, but we’ve been noting that many of the Samsung devices on crashing on Android 14 at startup. We are using NDK 26 which has Vulkan 1.3 support, but are only initializing our device with Vulkan 1.1. I don’t actually have one of these devices for development, but though I would raise the issue. VMA has introduced tests to make sure that the assert doesn’t occur.

if(m_VulkanApiVersion >= VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 3, 0))
{
	VMA_ASSERT(m_VulkanFunctions.vkGetDeviceBufferMemoryRequirements != VMA_NULL); <_
         VMA_ASSERT(m_VulkanFunctions.vkGetDeviceImageMemoryRequirements != VMA_NULL);
}

VMA crashing at startup on Android 14 devices

Our android 14 devices (now with Vulkan 1.3 support), are crashing in the follow…ing asserts. I don't have the supported extension list yet, since I don't have one of these devices. I think I'll clamp the version we send of to 1.1 maximum for now. 1. This should fallback to vkGetDeviceBufferMemoryRequirementsKHR if maintenance4 is set. That may be required on these Android devices even though they're "1.3". 2. This shouldn't be an assert if these are null, since VK_KHR_maintenance4 may not be set and for some reason these are VMA_NULL. We are using volk.h, and it seems to support loading these extensions. Also not seeing this problem on Windows Vulkan 1.2 and 1.3, but we're loading maintenance4 on drivers 1.3+. Obviously 1.2 wouldn't enter this path. ``` if(m_VulkanApiVersion >= VK_MAKE_VERSION(1, 3, 0)) { VMA_ASSERT(m_VulkanFunctions.vkGetDeviceBufferMemoryRequirements != VMA_NULL); VMA_ASSERT(m_VulkanFunctions.vkGetDeviceImageMemoryRequirements != VMA_NULL); } ``` Here is our workaround to just skip this code for now: ``` if ( allocatorInfo.vulkanApiVersion >= VK_API_VERSION_1_2 ) { allocatorInfo.vulkanApiVersion = VK_API_VERSION_1_1; } ```

Thank you for participating in the Samsung Developer Forum. However, this forum is for 3rd party developer issues.

Samsung’s mobile developers do not follow this board to prevent any potential dispute or misunderstanding as to the similarity between Unsolicited Submissions and our internally and independently developed products, technology and services.

I would recommend you use the Samsung Members App for feedback it has agreements for suggestions
