Oh of course, the fault handler doesn’t check this. I’ve added a second
patch to make it check and posted it as a separate series here:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-February/298170.html

The two patches combined make the IGT test pass.

I agree it would be great to have a debugfs option to trigger the purge.
I wonder if someone more involved in Panfrost would like to implement
this, because I am actually trying to work on VC4 and this is already
turning out to be quite a lot of yak shaving :) I’d also like to
implement the same debugfs option and IGT test for VC4.

Thanks for the feedback.
