Isn't this precisely the case that's supposed to be allowed with maintenance8? VK_FORMAT_D32_SFLOAT_S8_UINT is explicitly listed to be size_compatible with R8_UINT for the stencil aspect.
The second validation message seems a bit bogus too, I verified that we correctly set srcSubresource.aspectMask to STENCIL_BIT.
This was possibly generated with an antique version of VVL.
Well it explicitly mentions maintenance8 and I can repro locally (and predictably, disabling maint8 also silences the error since we correctly fall back to the renderpass path), but this smells like a VVL bug specifically with stencil aspects or something.
Could definitely be a VVL bug yeah.
Have you reported the VVL issue already?
No, busy working on dxvk things right now.
Fixed in VVL.
Tested with VVL (8496ed502).
