Hi Shashank, I tried writing a program to experiment with usermode queues and I found some weird behavior: The first run of the program works as expected, while subsequent runs don't seem to do anything (and I allocate everything in GTT, so it should be zero initialized consistently). Is this a known issue? The linked libdrm code for the uapi still does a doorbell ioctl so it could very well be that I do the doorbell wrong (especially since the ioctl implementation was never shared AFAICT?), but it seems like the kernel submissions (i.e. write wptr in dwords to the wptr va and to the doorbell). Is it possible to update the test in libdrm?
