Hi Tvrtko,

Engine->id namespace is per-tile so struct igt_live_test->reset_engine[]
needs to be two-dimensional so engine reset counts from all tiles can be
stored with no aliasing. With aliasing, if we had a real multi-tile
platform, the reset counts would be incorrect for same engine instance on
different tiles.

sorry for being late here... the patch makes sense to me and the
CI failures don't look related.

Thanks pushed!

There is more work to be done with the fact i915_reset_engine_count has it's
own aliasing when used like this, but I opted to leave that for some other
time.

feel free to share if you have some preparatory work done already
and I can try to help out. Otherwise I can take a look at it, as
well.

I don't have any patches I was just noticed when doing this that even though i915_reset_engine_count takes the engine as parameter, the i915->gpu_error is a single gt construct and as such I think using i915_reset_engine_count from per gt selftests is a mismatch.

I thought options were to add engine reset counts in the engine itself and use that from selftests. Leaving i915_reset_engine_count to be used from error capture paths. And it probably needs to be renamed accordingly so it is not misleading.

But then there may be issues around virtual engines though which this helper conveniently and quietly side stepped.

At that point I stopped thinking about it, given how real multi-tile for i915 is not happening, I didn't see it worth the effort. Still the sour taste of a mess remains so if you can think of an elegant and relatively cheap solution I think it would be good to tidy.

Regards,

Tvrtko
