The hack was added to enable exporting of vulkan images to DRM.
On Intel hardware, specifically for DRM images, all planes must be
allocated next to each other, due to hardware limitation, so the hack
used a single large allocation and suballocated all planes from it.
By natively supporting multiplane images, the driver is what decides
the layout, so exporting just works.
It's a hack because it conflicted heavily with image allocation, and
with the whole ecosystem in general, before multiplane images were
supported, which just made it redundant.
This is also the commit which broke the hwcontext hardest and prompted
the entire rewrite in the first place.
This just bumps the required loader library version (libvulkan).
All device-related features, such as video decoding, atomics, etc.
are still optional and the code deals with their loss on a local level
(e.g. the decoder or filter checks for the features it needs, not
the hwcontext).
Bumping the required version essentially packs all maintenance
extensions which correct the spec rather than requiring to enable
them individually.
Vulkan requires it.
It technically also requires use_default_scaling_matrix_mask,
but we can just be explicit and give it the matrix we fill in as-non
default.
The only thing besides the hwaccel that this function uses from
AVCodecHWConfigInternal is the pixel format, which should always match
the hwaccel one.
Will be useful in following commits.
A non-limiting stream could mistakenly end up being the queue head,
which would then produce incorrect synchronization, seen e.g. in
fate-matroska-flac-extradata-update for certain number of frame threads
(e.g. 5).

Checking whether the user requested an unsupported conversion between

This function is entangled with encoder setup, so it is more encoding
code rather than ffmpeg_hw code. This will allow making more encoder
state private in the future.
This function is entangled with decoder setup, so it is more decoding
code rather than ffmpeg_hw code. This will allow making more decoder
state private in the future.
