If flags has the VK_PIPELINE_SHADER_STAGE_CREATE_ALLOW_VARYING_SUBGROUP_SIZE_BIT_EXT flag set, the subgroupSizeControl feature must be enabled.

If flags has the VK_PIPELINE_SHADER_STAGE_CREATE_REQUIRE_FULL_SUBGROUPS_BIT_EXT flag set, the computeFullSubgroups feature must be enabled.

If a VkPipelineShaderStageRequiredSubgroupSizeCreateInfoEXT structure is included in the pNext chain, flags must not have the VK_PIPELINE_SHADER_STAGE_CREATE_ALLOW_VARYING_SUBGROUP_SIZE_BIT_EXT flag set.

If a VkPipelineShaderStageRequiredSubgroupSizeCreateInfoEXT structure is included in the pNext chain, the subgroupSizeControl feature must be enabled, and stage must be a valid bit specified in requiredSubgroupSizeStages.

If a VkPipelineShaderStageRequiredSubgroupSizeCreateInfoEXT structure is included in the pNext chain and stage is VK_SHADER_STAGE_COMPUTE_BIT, the local workgroup size of the shader must be less than or equal to the product of VkPipelineShaderStageRequiredSubgroupSizeCreateInfoEXT::requiredSubgroupSize and maxComputeWorkgroupSubgroups.

If a VkPipelineShaderStageRequiredSubgroupSizeCreateInfoEXT structure is included in the pNext chain, and flags has the VK_PIPELINE_SHADER_STAGE_CREATE_REQUIRE_FULL_SUBGROUPS_BIT_EXT flag set, the local workgroup size in the X dimension of the pipeline must be a multiple of VkPipelineShaderStageRequiredSubgroupSizeCreateInfoEXT::requiredSubgroupSize.

If flags has both the VK_PIPELINE_SHADER_STAGE_CREATE_REQUIRE_FULL_SUBGROUPS_BIT_EXT and VK_PIPELINE_SHADER_STAGE_CREATE_ALLOW_VARYING_SUBGROUP_SIZE_BIT_EXT flags set, the local workgroup size in the X dimension of the pipeline must be a multiple of maxSubgroupSize.
