I think that is because GL applications (so most compositors) run
through zink which does not forward GL preemption to vulkan so yeah, for
GL applications the only way of getting preemption is the debug flag.
Unfortunately this is not easy to fix in Zink because it creates one
VkDevice at screen creation and uses it for all GL contexts. Since GL
priority is provided per context and at context creation time Zink has
no way of handling this.
Once TU will support more than one queue it will be possible for Zink to
create one queue per priority then pick one at context creation time.
Doing so would require a new vulkan extension for per queue global
priority. I had started working on this some time ago
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/antonino/mesa/-/tree/priority_ext?ref_type=heads
but this solution will only be viable once TU can expose more than one
queue.
