I highly suspect we will have to expose to the user the amount of images in the swapchain. It also implies letting people render to the swapchain without a clear, something that is currently disallowed. |

1417: Split the tracker into stateful/stateless to reduce the overhead r=cwfitzgerald a=kvark **Connections** Implements #1413 (comment) Reduces the overhead for resource tracking in the Animometer benchmark by up to 50%. **Description** We used to use the full tracker set on the usage scopes associated with compute/render passes. A resource tracker has 2 responsibilities: ensuring the resource is held alive, and validating and recording the state transitions. This PR exploits the fact that the latter responsibility is only applicable for buffers and textures. So doing all the lifetime tracking for a pass is a waste: we can instead just attach the lifetimes to the parent command buffer, straight. In the Animometer benchmark, there is one large buffer, and thousands of bind groups pointing to different offsets into it. The old code would fill up the pass tracker with those bind groups, and then merge it into the command buffer tracker. The new code would just fill up the command buffer tracker instead. Since there is only one buffer, the pass tracking becomes much lighter. **Testing** Untested. It would be nice to have some benchmarks here, possibly after #1397 ?

Closing in favor of #2869, this isn't as widespread as it seems. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Presenting full screen is wasteful if the user knows only a portion of the screen is changed.
Describe the solution you'd like
A native-only feature that allows the user to specify a rectangle to present.
This isn't a security concern, but a portability one.
Describe alternatives you've considered
No incremental present
Additional context
It's not clear if this is possible, given that the user of a swapchain doesn't know about the number of textures there. So there is no good way for the user to know the baseline, from which the changes were made.
