[PATCH] drm/doc: Make igts for cross-driver stuff strongly suggested

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Compared to the RFC[1] no changes to the patch itself, but igt moved
forward a lot:

- gitlab CI builds with: reduced configs/libraries, arm cross build
  and a sysroot build (should address all the build/cross platform
  concerns raised in the RFC discussions).

- tests reorganized into subdirectories so that the i915-gem tests
  don't clog the main/shared tests directory anymore

- quite a few more non-intel people contributing/reviewing/committing
  igt tests patches.

I think this addresses all the concerns raised in the RFC discussions,
and assuming there's enough Acks and no new issues that pop up, we can
go ahead with this.

v2:
- Use "should" (in the usual RFC sense) to make it clear that in the
  end this is all up to reviewer's discretion, as usual (Jani).
- Also in the title s/mandatory/strongly suggested/ (me)
- Make it clear we're not going to block features if a testcase is not
  feasible, given hw and state of igt, both having some good gaps in
  what can be tested (Harry, Eric, Sean, ...).

 Testing and validation
 ======================
 
+Testing Requirements for userspace API
+--------------------------------------
+
+New cross-driver userspace interface extensions, like new IOCTL, new KMS
+properties, new files in sysfs or anything else that constitutes an API change
+should have driver-agnostic testcases in IGT for that feature, if such a test
+can be reasonably made using IGT for the target hardware.

 Validating changes with IGT
