@atlv24 Earlier today you asked me for a suggestion about the texture usages, and a review of the tests. I've posted those now. Is there anything else you need before breaking this up into independent commits for review?

@jimblandy I've broken it into independent commits already, thanks for the feedback. I've implemented the texture usage stuff, now im working on the tests. :D

What would prevent you from doing atomics on an image without the image atomics flag set?

The naga validator currently only permits image atomic operations on the r64uint texture format, and only when the feature is available. No provisions were made for other texture formats yet

@cwfitzgerald i have split this into two PRs: #6706 adds image atomics without any of the 64 bit stuff, this one adds the 64 bit stuff. Only the second commit on this PR is relevant to it, as this PR's branch is based off of the other's, so it includes its commits.

Demoting to draft while dependent

Ran this locally, got this failure on all devices

This does not appear in CI as image atomics is not supported on any device, in part because of #6911
