Hi,
Did you look at any of the HURT? The problem I was seeing was this could end
up stopping copy propagation from working on some UBOs etc.
They were not UBO cases like yours, but looking at them I've found a
different problem.
However with this patch we end up with:
load UBO at offset offset_a;
if (offset_a == 10) {
load UBO at offset 10;
...
}
copy prop no longer recognizes that we are reusing the same UBO and reloads
it again.
Note that: when/if we keep derefs for UBOs longer enough to let
nir_opt_copy_prop_vars act on them, this won't be a problem as we
perform those propagations. I'm not sure you are doing the same,
though.

...but we are returning too early here. This should be "progress =
true;" instead of the return, otherwise we just replace a single use.
Then fix the final return to "return progress;".
Ah yes. Good catch.
The different problem I've found was that uses in the phi instruction
after the then/else blocks was being replaced, causing churn in the
optimizations further on. As a hack, I've ignored phi instructions in
the use loop above. HURTs are gone and HELPs continued.
The real issue seems to be use_block not being what we expect when we
have a use_src from a phi instruction. For example, in the snippet
below
vec1 1 ssa_2543 = ieq ssa_7429, ssa_6
/* succs: block_9 block_10 */
if ssa_2543 {
block block_9:
/* preds: block_8 */
vec2 32 ssa_2550 = vec2 ssa_7744, ssa_7745
vec4 32 ssa_2553 = txl ssa_468 (texture_deref), ssa_468
(sampler_deref), ssa_2550 (coord), ssa_6 (lod),
vec1 32 ssa_7434 = imov ssa_2553.w
/* succs: block_11 */
} else {
block block_10:
/* preds: block_8 */
/* succs: block_11 */
}
block block_11:
/* preds: block_9 block_10 */
vec1 32 ssa_7433 = phi block_9: ssa_7420, block_10: ssa_7420
vec1 32 ssa_7436 = phi block_9: ssa_7434, block_10: ssa_7423
vec1 32 ssa_7439 = phi block_9: ssa_7426, block_10: ssa_7426
vec1 32 ssa_7442 = phi block_9: ssa_7429, block_10: ssa_7429
the use_src that is part of the instruction "... ssa_7442 = phi ...",
was being considered use_block == 9 (the 'then'-block), so replace was
happening.
I'm not sure I see the problem, replacing the phi src is valid. The
question is why is it causing HURT?
Unless I'm missing something, replacing nir_before_src /
nir_cursor_current_block with use_src->parent_instr->block is what we
want here.
