Description

With core Vulkan it is not legal to call flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands when recording a secondary command buffer. This extension relaxes that restriction, allowing secondary command buffers to execute other secondary command buffers.

Issues

1) The Command Buffer Levels property for the Vulkan commands comes from the cmdbufferlevel attribute in vk.xml for the command, and it is currently not possible to modify this attribute based on whether an extension is enabled. For this extension we want the cmdbufferlevel attribute for vkCmdExecuteCommands to be primary,secondary when this extension is enabled and primary otherwise.

RESOLVED: The cmdbufferlevel attribute for flink:vkCmdExecuteCommands has been changed to primary,secondary and a new VUID added to prohibit recording this command in a secondary command buffer unless this extension is enabled.
