Microsoft D3D11 CopySubresourceRegion incompatible source destination dimensions format invalid call behavior
💡 Result:
`CopySubresourceRegion` does **not** return an HRESULT—it returns `void`. So invalid copies aren’t reported as a normal call failure you can check in the return value. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d11/nf-d3d11-id3d11devicecontext-copysubresourceregion))
- **Out-of-bounds region or destination:** The source box and the copied region at the destination offset must fit. If they don’t, behavior is **undefined**; with the D3D11 debug layer enabled, the invalid call is reported. Microsoft notes outcomes can include clipping, no copy, incorrect rendering, or device removal. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d11/nf-d3d11-id3d11devicecontext-copysubresourceregion))
- **Different dimensions:** Different overall source and destination sizes are okay for a *partial* copy, provided the selected source region fits at the destination offset. This method copies; it does not scale or stretch. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d11/nf-d3d11-id3d11devicecontext-copysubresourceregion))
- **Incompatible resources/formats:** The resources must be the same type, and formats must be identical or in the same compatible DXGI format group. Incompatible formats violate the documented requirements; don’t rely on a particular runtime outcome. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d11/nf-d3d11-id3d11devicecontext-copysubresourceregion))
If you need resizing or arbitrary format conversion, use a shader/render pass rather than `CopySubresourceRegion`.

Keep the source texture alive in the cache, or validate it on each hit.
The pointer-only cache can reuse a destination created for a released decoder texture. A later export decoder can reuse the same address with a different size or format. CopySubresourceRegion can then receive an incompatible resource or an out-of-bounds full-source copy. Its void API provides no ordinary error result, so the rendered frame can be stale, incorrect, or undefined.
The reachable lifetime is decoder replacement during export. The export cleanup path does not call clear_srv_cache. The preview-switch example is not established here.
Store src in the cache entry and compare it on each hit:
Proposed fix
- let cached = self.srv_cache.borrow().get(&key).cloned();
- let (dst, y, uv) = match cached {
- Some(v) => v,
+ let cached = self
+ .srv_cache
+ .borrow()
+ .get(&key)
+ .filter(|(s, ..)| s == &src)
+ .map(|(_, d, y, uv)| (d.clone(), y.clone(), uv.clone()));

+ Some(v) => v,
None => {
...
self.srv_cache
.borrow_mut()
- .insert(key, (dst.clone(), y.clone(), uv.clone()));
+ .insert(key, (src.clone(), dst.clone(), y.clone(), uv.clone()));Also add the source ID3D11Texture2D as the first element of the srv_cache tuple.

`nv12_srvs` built its Y/UV views straight on the ffmpeg D3D11VA output — a texture array slice, addressed through `FirstArraySlice`. Two documented rules say that is not a supported way to read decoded video. `D3D11_BIND_FLAG` is explicit about the first: "you cannot use texture arrays that are created with this flag in calls to `ID3D11Device::CreateShaderResourceView`". Our pool is exactly such an array — `get_hw_format` asks for `initial_pool_size = 32` with `D3D11_BIND_DECODER | D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE`. Drivers are free to let the view creation succeed anyway, and most do, which is why this held up everywhere else. The second rule is the one that actually bit. The decoded surface stays the decoder's reference frame, and between the video engine and the 3D pipeline "there is no automatic hazard tracking" — so the shader may sample a surface the decoder is concurrently rewriting. ffmpeg's `ID3D11VideoContext` is the very same object as our immediate context (it comes out of a `QueryInterface` on it), and `SetMultithreadProtected(TRUE)` only makes an individual call atomic, never a sequence. Nothing ordered the decode against our draws. On a Snapdragon X Elite (Adreno X1-85) the editor preview drew opaque black for most of playback. Measured on 1.13, same build, same recording, the two paths selected by an environment variable: 768 black frames out of 792 sampling the decoder surface, 2 out of 545 through the copy — and those two are the transparent frames before the first compose, not black ones. The black was opaque and total, so not "one frame late" but no frame at all. What hid the cause for so long: exporting the same project never produced a single black frame (28 342 verified), because the export drains the GPU every frame through the encoder, which lets the decode finish before the read. Everything that slowed the live loop — one more readback, a lock, a sleep — cut the black proportionally without ever removing it. Four mitigations along those lines were tried and discarded: a `Flush` and then a `D3D11_QUERY_EVENT` wait around the readback, holding `ID3D11Multithread::Enter` across compose and readback (90 % black down to 57 %), and capping the loop period (69 % at 0 ms, 38 % at 33 ms). They were all treating the symptom. The fix copies the slice into a private texture — `ArraySize = 1`, `BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE` only — with `CopySubresourceRegion` on the immediate context, which IS ordered against the draws that follow, and samples that copy. One allocation per decoder texture, then one GPU→GPU copy per frame and per source; nothing goes back to system memory. `clear_srv_cache` keeps its meaning and now also drops the copies, so a new decoder texture landing on a recycled address cannot inherit one sized for the old one. Export output is unchanged: the same project re-exported frame for frame identical, 326 frames, mean luminance 168.0, min 84.3. This also supersedes the diagnosis in `feat/compositor-force-cpu-backend`, which read the same symptom as a broken D3D11 hardware path on that adapter and added `OPENSCREEN_FORCE_CPU_BACKEND` to work around it. The compose path was never at fault — the export proves it on the same GPU — so that override is no longer the answer here. Not covered: no regression test. The failure only appears where the video engine and the 3D pipeline actually race, so it does not reproduce on the CI adapters, and a test that passes everywhere would prove nothing. The change is exercised by the existing compose and export tests; the evidence above is the A/B on the affected hardware.

The symptom
On a Snapdragon X Elite (Adreno X1-85), the editor preview draws opaque black for most of playback. Pausing brings the picture back for a few seconds; playing turns it black again. Exporting the very same project is flawless.
The cause
Compositor::nv12_srvscreated its Y/UV shader resource views directly on the ffmpeg D3D11VA output surface — a texture array slice, addressed throughFirstArraySlice. Two documented rules say that is not a supported way to read decoded video.1. You may not create an SRV on a
BIND_DECODERtexture array.D3D11_BIND_FLAGis explicit:Our pool is exactly such an array —
get_hw_formatrequestsinitial_pool_size = 32withD3D11_BIND_DECODER | D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE. Drivers may let the view creation succeed regardless, and most do, which is why this held up on every other adapter.2. Nothing orders the decode against our draws. This is the rule that actually bit. The decoded surface remains the decoder's reference frame, and between the video engine and the 3D pipeline there is no automatic hazard tracking — the shader can sample a surface the decoder is concurrently rewriting. ffmpeg's
ID3D11VideoContextis the same object as our immediate context (it comes out of aQueryInterfaceon it, see Threading considerations), andID3D11Multithreadspells out the limit of what we had:SetMultithreadProtected(TRUE)makes an individual call atomic. It never made our compose sequence atomic against ffmpeg's decode submissions.The fix
Copy the slice into a private texture —
ArraySize = 1,BIND_SHADER_RESOURCEonly — withCopySubresourceRegionon the immediate context, which is ordered against the draws that follow, and sample that copy. One allocation per decoder texture, then one GPU→GPU copy per frame and per source; nothing goes back to system memory.clear_srv_cachekeeps its meaning and now also drops the copies, so a new decoder texture landing on a recycled address cannot inherit one sized for the old one.The NV12 two-plane view split is unchanged and still follows the
DXGI_FORMATremarks: luma asR8_UNORM, chroma asR8G8_UNORM.Evidence
Same build, same recording, the two paths selected by an environment variable during bring-up:
The two remaining ones are the transparent frames before the first compose (alpha 0), not black ones — a separate, known preview-warmup defect.
Export is unchanged. The same project re-exported frame for frame identical: 326 frames, mean luminance 168.0, min 84.3,
blackdetectsilent.Why this took a while to find, and what was ruled out
Exporting the same project never produced a single black frame — 28 342 frames verified — because the export drains the GPU every frame through the encoder, which lets the decode finish before the read. Export and preview share
compose_frame, so compose and the hardware rasteriser were never at fault.Everything that slowed the live loop cut the black proportionally without ever removing it. Four mitigations along those lines were tried and discarded, all of them treating the symptom:
Flush()before the readbackMapD3D11_QUERY_EVENTwait before theMapID3D11Multithread::Enteracross compose + readbackDecoupling the loop the other way — skipping the readback while the previous frame sits unconsumed — made it worse (96/102), which is what finally pointed at the real mechanism: the readback was never the load, it was an accidental synchronisation that rescued the frames after it.
Ruled out by measurement: the renderer and canvas (main-process packet bytes and canvas pixels match frame for frame), the geometry plan (every
plan_framefield byte-identical for black and bright frames), a resize loop, slice selection, readback ordering, and segmentation.Supersedes
feat/compositor-force-cpu-backendread the same symptom as a broken D3D11 hardware path on that adapter and addedOPENSCREEN_FORCE_CPU_BACKENDto sidestep it. That diagnosis does not survive the export evidence — the compose path is sound on this GPU — so the override is no longer the answer here.Not covered
No regression test. The failure only appears where the video engine and the 3D pipeline actually race, so it does not reproduce on the CI adapters, and a test that passes everywhere would prove nothing. The change is exercised by the existing compose and export tests; the A/B above is the evidence. Verified on Windows on ARM only — macOS and Linux have their own
nv12_srvsand are untouched by this change.Summary by CodeRabbit
