texture_cache: let an integrated GPU's memory share bound the textures only (#739) - #823
Should fix#739. Tested on a Steam Deck OLED (see Testing); not yet on #739's Radeon 860M.
Problem. On integrated GPUs, GetDeviceMemoryBudget() caps the budget at the share of system memory CollectPhysicalMemoryInfo gives the GPU: 4 GiB, or 6 GiB with aggressive VRAM use. The cap stops the texture cache from filling RAM. The collector's thresholds come from that cap, but the usage it compares with them is everything in device memory, not just textures.
In #739 (Ocarina of Time, Radeon 860M, RADV), device memory is ~5.4 GB, of which only 1.3 GB is images. That's above critical (3.0 GB) even if every image were deleted, so the collector never leaves aggressive mode. Every 600 frames it creates and deletes ~13,000 images, and downloads ~1,800 of them first with runtime.Finish(), a full GPU wait (~70 a second). With the thresholds raised by override, the reporter measured ~500 creations and ~1 download per 600 frames instead.
Change
New Device::GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget(): GetDeviceMemoryBudget() without the integrated cap. GetDeviceMemoryBudget() now applies the cap on top of it, so its result is unchanged.
In the texture cache's budget check (every 30 frames, Switch 2 titles), when the heap's budget is above the capped one:
Sum the live images' memory (ImageMemoryBytes plus scaled copies).
Add everything else in device memory to critical and expected.
Cap the result at the heap's own budget minus the same margins (base, out-of-memory, block slack). The existing gap between expected and critical is kept.
The result: the 4/6 GiB share bounds the images, as intended, and the rest of the emulator's allocations no longer push the collector into aggressive mode.
Discrete GPUs and MoltenVK are unchanged, since their heap budget equals the capped one. Switch 1 titles are unchanged, since this block only runs for native-tiling titles.
An out-of-memory failure still escalates the collector as before.
The thresholds are logged after the adjustment. The "Memory margins" line now also shows the memory counted as not textures.
With #739's numbers (critical 3000, expected 2232, 5409 MiB used, 1358 MiB of images, 10.75 GB heap budget), the thresholds become ~7050 / ~6280 MiB. The game sits in normal mode, with ~2.2 GB of room for images before high priority.
Testing
Builds with clang on Linux, for both the Vulkan and OpenGL texture caches. The full tests suite passes (1090 cases).
…s only (zortos293#739)
On integrated GPUs, GetDeviceMemoryBudget() caps the budget at the share of
system memory CollectPhysicalMemoryInfo gives the GPU (4 GiB, 6 GiB with
aggressive VRAM use), so that textures don't fill RAM. The collector's
thresholds come from that cap, but the usage it compares with them is
everything in device memory. In Ocarina of Time on a Radeon 860M, ~4 GB of
other allocations kept the usage (5.4 GB) above critical (3.0 GB) with 1.3 GB
of images. Deleting every image could not get under it, so the collector
stayed in aggressive mode: ~480 images created and deleted a second, ~70 of
them downloaded first with a full GPU wait.
When the heap's own budget is above the capped one (the integrated case,
not MoltenVK), the memory that isn't images is now added to the thresholds,
up to the heap's budget minus the same margins. The cap then bounds the
images, as it was meant to. The image bytes are summed every 30 frames,
when the thresholds are recomputed. Discrete GPUs are unchanged.
GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() is GetDeviceMemoryBudget() without the cap.
The thresholds are now logged after that adjustment, together with the
memory counted as not textures.

The device now exposes its heap budget separately from its capped device-memory budget. The texture cache uses the heap budget to adjust memory thresholds and reports estimated non-image usage in its memory log.
Changes: Vulkan texture-cache memory thresholds
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Separate heap and device budgets src/video_core/vulkan_common/vulkan_device.h, src/video_core/vulkan_common/vulkan_device.cpp
Device exposes the heap-based budget separately. GetDeviceMemoryBudget() caps that budget at device_access_memory for integrated GPUs except MoltenVK.
Apply heap budget to texture-cache thresholds src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_texture_cache.h, src/video_core/renderer_vulkan/vk_texture_cache.cpp, src/video_core/texture_cache/texture_cache.h
TextureCacheRuntime forwards the heap-budget query. TickFrame adjusts reported usage before budget evaluation. When the heap budget exceeds the device budget, it estimates non-image usage and adjusts the expected and critical thresholds. The memory log includes the estimate.
The change is mergeable with awareness that texture-collection thresholds may be imprecise on integrated GPUs. The reported Radeon 860M scenario has not yet been validated.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names the texture cache and the integrated GPU memory budget, which matches the main change: the heap budget is now used so that non-texture device memory is excluded from texture-cache thresholds on integrated GPUs. The title is specific, uses the correct subsystem, and reflects the primary behavior change. The title includes an issue-style reference, (#739), which is minor noise but does not make the title unclear.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Objective [#739]: stop non-image device memory from keeping the texture collector in aggressive mode when deleting images cannot bring usage under critical.
Evidence in src/video_core/texture_cache/texture_cache.h at head (whole-PR diff vs. merge base, and incremental diff vs. previous head):
The adjustment runs only when runtime.GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() exceeds the capped budget.
image_bytes sums ImageMemoryBytes plus GetScaledImageSizeBytes for scaled images over slot_images. other_memory = total_used_memory - image_bytes.
heap_critical uses the same margins against the heap budget. critical_memory = max(critical, min(critical + other, heap_critical)).
expected_memory keeps the original critical-to-expected gap.
Incremental change: total_used_memory is now read before the budget check (the sentenced-bytes subtraction moved up with it). other_memory therefore uses current-frame usage. This matches the commit message.
Arithmetic on #739 numbers: 3000 + ~4051 (other) = ~7050 MiB, below heap_critical for a 10.75 GB heap. This matches the PR's ~7050 / ~6280 MiB.
Device split (from the previous review, vulkan_device.cpp and vk_texture_cache.*, not re-read in this pass): GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() returns the uncapped heap budget. GetDeviceMemoryBudget() applies the integrated cap on top. Integrated-GPU budgets are unchanged.
Open points:
If heap_critical limits the raise (small heap budget), non-image memory can still reach critical. This follows the stated design and does not apply to #739.
The new GC-path code (MarkStale, ClearStaleImage) changes what happens to GPU-modified images on deletion. The Steam Deck A/B test in the PR description may predate these commits. Its results do not establish their effect on churn.
The author has not tested on the #739 Radeon 860M. No automated test covers the threshold arithmetic. The issue does not require one.
The issue hints are untested suggestions, not acceptance criteria. The PR implements a different mechanism for the same objective.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Changes that connect to [#739] and its objective:
texture_cache.h threshold adjustment, GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() use, the 'not textures' margin log field, LogThresholds(), and the reserved-margin reorder.
vulkan_device.cpp/.h: GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() split from GetDeviceMemoryBudget(). Discrete GPUs and MoltenVK keep the same result.
vk_texture_cache.h/.cpp: forwarding accessor for the heap budget.
Changes with no demonstrated connection to [#739] or to the PR description's Change list. The PR description lists only the budget, threshold, and log changes. The whole-PR texture_cache.h diff (head vs. merge base) and the incremental diff (previous head vs. head) also contain:
Texture handle memoization: SampledTextureMemo use, ResolveMemoizedTextures(), MemoizeTextures(). These cache sampled-texture view and sampler lookups. They do not change device-memory thresholds.
Compute collision image publishing: PublishComputeCollisionImage() defers a download for one 256x256 SNORM height-map image. It matches one title's image layout. It does not change the collector's thresholds.
Stale-page tracking: StalePages, MarkStale(), ClearStale(), ClearStaleImage(), ClearStaleGpu(), and device_memory.UpdatePagesCachedCount() calls. These change write protection and upload skipping. They are not described in the PR.
Diagnostics: the EDEN_NX2_MEM_TRACE block (mem_trace_time, runtime.LogMemoryTrace()) and the 'stale uploads skipped' log line with its counters.
An include of video_core/nx2_fast_draw.h and use of Tegra::g_nx2_ampere in the new stale-page code.
The linked issue does not ask for these behaviors. The PR commit message and description do not mention them. No test or description text links them to the collector churn fix. The 'Memory trace' diagnostics are closest to the objective, but they add logging for general memory investigation and do not fix the churn.
The PR description's Steam Deck results do not cover these hunks. The result cannot show whether they are safe with the threshold change.
Resolution
Remove the unrelated texture_cache.h hunks from this PR, or move them to separate PRs with their own linked issues. Remove: the memoization functions (ResolveMemoizedTextures, MemoizeTextures, and their call sites); PublishComputeCollisionImage and its call sites; the stale-page code (MarkStale, ClearStale, ClearStaleImage, ClearStaleGpu, their call sites in RunGarbageCollector, and the stale-page log line); the EDEN_NX2_MEM_TRACE block; and the nx2_fast_draw.h include if it is used only by the removed code. Keep the threshold adjustment, GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() split, LogThresholds(), and the 'not textures' log field. Then rebuild, run the tests, and rerun the Deck A/B test on the reduced head.

Tested on a Steam Deck OLED: RADV with Mesa 26.2, integrated RDNA2 "VanGogh" with a 4 GiB carve-out, ~11.5 GiB system RAM, SteamOS 3.9. Ocarina of Time (0400486024DEC000), handheld, 1x.
On this machine the texture cache logged device memory 4866 MiB (expected 2044, critical 2812), 771 images 1097 MiB. Images were a small part of the device memory, and the collector stayed above critical, exactly as described here.
Interleaved A/B on the balcony outside Link's house in Kokiri Forest. Each run measures 15 s of frame times standing, then fps while panning the camera for 600 frames. Both builds are #805 (with a null-image fix posted there) plus #948; the only difference is this PR on top.

So on an integrated GPU this removes most of the cost of turning the camera, cuts the worst frames, and lowers peak GPU memory. No crashes or image problems in these runs.
Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Fix the doc comment: the getter returns more than the main heap's budget.
The comment says GetDeviceHeapMemoryBudget() returns "the heap's own budget". The implementation in vulkan_device.cpp (lines 1944-1969) returns the main heap budget, capped by heap_size_limit. It then adds the usage of every other valid heap.
The value is therefore in GetDeviceMemoryUsage() terms, not a pure heap budget. Callers such as TickFrame compare it with total usage. A future caller that treats it as a raw heap budget would get wrong results.
Update the comment to state the semantics, for example: the main heap budget plus the usage of other heaps, before the integrated-GPU cap. Also state that it returns 0 without VK_EXT_memory_budget.
