Package: va-driver-all
Version: 2.16.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Please dispatch this ticket as you see fit. I report this against va-driver-all
since it seems to have indirectly lead to the trouble, and there is no README
in va-driver-all which would explain the rules of the game.
My system has been working fine with Sid until a couple of months ago. IIRC,
last year I checked the vainfo config and eventually enabled it even in Firefox
(Chrome was fine out of the box).
However, now the CPU consumption in Chrome is back to high in Video playback,
feels like the GPU acceleration started failing silently. Investigation on the
issue has caused trobule, see below. And setting popular env. vars like
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 did not help.

Situation 1:
va-driver-all is installed (that installs intel-media-va-driver; see below for
intel-media-va-driver-nonfree effects).
Result:
on some H264 videos, VLC is not accelerated, framerate is terrible, like 2-5
fps.
On bigger ones, VLC simply crashes. Where? Here:
Module libudev.so.1 from deb systemd-252~rc3-2.amd64

That is not how I remember it from before, similar to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Verifying_VA-API
So my assumption is that iHD is probably not suitable for this old GPU?
Maybe installing non-free version helps?
So, Situation 2:
Installed intel-media-va-driver-nonfree. Now vainfo tells a lot more:
libva info: VA-API version 1.16.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointVLD
But: it does not work! It crashes the same way as before or fails to
accellerate as before.
So, situation 3:
Still wondering about iHD...so involvement, I removed that extra packages
(intel-media-va-driver, intel-media-va-driver-nonfree).
That looks different, better in the vainfo output (see below), but actually
much worse: instead of just crashing the player process on problematic videos,
a malloc bomb seems to be triggered. I.e. the whole X server gets stuck in a
second and gets OOM-killed pretty soon.
