vkQueueSubmit2

To submit command buffers to a queue, call:

VkResult vkQueueSubmit2KHR(
    VkQueue                           queue,
    uint32_t                            submitCount,
    const VkSubmitInfo2*              pSubmits,
    VkFence           fence);

queue is the queue that the command buffers will be submitted to.
submitCount is the number of elements in the pSubmits array.
pSubmits is a pointer to an array of VkSubmitInfo2 structures, each specifying a command buffer submission batch.
fence is an optional handle to a fence to be signaled once all submitted command buffers have completed execution. If fence is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, it defines a fence signal operation.

vkQueueSubmit2 is a queue submission command, with each batch defined by an element of pSubmits.

Semaphore operations submitted with vkQueueSubmit2 have additional ordering constraints compared to other submission commands, with dependencies involving previous and subsequent queue operations. Information about these additional constraints can be found in the semaphore section of the synchronization chapter.

If any command buffer submitted to this queue is in the executable state, it is moved to the pending state. Once execution of all submissions of a command buffer complete, it moves from the pending state, back to the executable state. If a command buffer was recorded with the VK_COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT flag, it instead moves back to the invalid state.

If vkQueueSubmit2 fails, it may return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY or VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY. If it does, the implementation must ensure that the state and contents of any resources or synchronization primitives referenced by the submitted command buffers and any semaphores referenced by pSubmits is unaffected by the call or its failure. If vkQueueSubmit2 fails in such a way that the implementation is unable to make that guarantee, the implementation must return VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST. See Lost Device.

VUID-vkQueueSubmit2-commandBuffer-03878

The commandBuffer member of any element of the pCommandBufferInfos member of any element of pSubmits must have been allocated from a VkCommandPool that was created for the same queue family queue belongs to

VUID-vkQueueSubmit2-commandBuffer-03879

If a command recorded into the commandBuffer member of any element of the pCommandBufferInfos member of any element of pSubmits includes a Queue Family Ownership Transfer Acquire Operation, there must exist a previously submitted Queue Family Ownership Transfer Release Operation on a queue in the queue family identified by the acquire operation, with parameters matching the acquire operation as defined in the definition of such acquire operations, and which happens before the acquire operation

VUID-vkQueueSubmit2-commandBuffer-03880

If a command recorded into the commandBuffer member of any element of the pCommandBufferInfos member of any element of pSubmits was a vkCmdBeginQuery whose queryPool was created with a queryType of VK_QUERY_TYPE_PERFORMANCE_QUERY_KHR, the profiling lock must have been held continuously on the VkDevice that queue was retrieved from, throughout recording of those command buffers
