> Since commit 7b6da818d86f ("drm/i915: Restore the kernel context after a
> GPU reset on an idle engine") we submit a request following the engine

> busy (as it will restart active by itself) but we only checked to see if
> there were remaining requests in flight on the hardware and skipped
> checking to see if there were any ready requests that would be
> immediately submitted on restart (the same time as our new request would
> be). Having convinced the engine to appear idle in the previous patch,
> we can use intel_engine_is_idle() as a better test to only submit a new
> request if there are no pending requests.

This would be nice to have fixed in CI.
