Crash logs ended in fatal errors when the system's commit ran out for a moment: a staging buffer (-2), a guest commit
with the system at 24442 of 24447 MB, image creation (-2). Windows grows a system-managed page file and some drivers
charge device memory to the process commit, so the same request often succeeds a moment later.
oom.c holds the wait nvn_api_cmd.c realloc_wait already used: it requests a release, retries every 10 ms for up to
30 s, logs the first 8 with the commit numbers. rt_oom_request sets a flag that vk_texture_new_submit takes (one atomic
load per submit): it drops up to 256 released textures of the two kinds sweep_pressure drops (overwritten, clean
mirrored), never GPU-written content, and frees the headroom blocks. vk_oom_release does at once what needs no submit:
headroom blocks, finished upload batches and deferred objects.
- memory.c commit: waits and retries without frz_lock between tries; every caller waits, boot ones too.
- vk_staging and the draw-data chunks (vk_exec_draw.c scratch): release, then wait; the open upload batch is not
submitted, its caller still records into it.
- create_tex: release and one retry; no wait under the texture lock, the texture is asked for again at its next use.
- the texture write-back buffer: release, then wait.
- the headroom thread keeps no spare block for 30 s after a failure.
TOTK_TEST_OOM=<site>:<n> (commit, staging, image, chunk) fails the first n attempts; probe-kernel forces 3 refused
commits, probe-vkexec 2 staging buffers, 1 image and 1 chunk, and both pass through them.
