ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY when there isn't a suitable AMD GPU in the host system

Description

If you install AMDVLK in a system where there isn't a suitable AMD GPU, Vulkan programs might crash when they try to load the library amdvlk64.so.

Steps to reproduce

  • Use a PC with an Intel or NVIDIA GPU
  • Install your expected GPU Vulkan drivers (e.g. on Arch Linux vulkan-intel)
  • Launch vulkaninfo
  • Install amdvlk (I'm using Arch Linux with amdvlk 2022.Q4.4)
  • Launch again vulkaninfo

Expected behavior

vulkaninfo should always work.

Actual behavior

After you install AMDVLK, vulkaninfo will fail with vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

Additional info

This seems to be the same problem that has been reported a few years ago in #187. Maybe the fix regressed in a recent AMDVLK update?

commented

could you try 2023.Q1.3 please?

I just tried it with Ubuntu 22.04 because Arch Linux still has the older amdvlk. I used a laptop with an integrated Intel GPU.
After installing mesa-vulkan-drivers and vulkan-tools, vulkaninfo was working correctly.

Then I downloaded the prebuilt amdvlk 2023.Q1.3 and installed it with apt install ./amdvlk_2023.Q1.3_amd64.deb.
After that vulkaninfo started to crash with vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

So unfortunately it seems like the problem has not been fixed yet.
