The problem entirely lies in how we are constructing our set of busy spinning batches. We try to fill the ring with a chain of batches that are all linked to one buffer, and then try to execute that buffer. This gives us the most implicit fences on that one buffer we can trivially construct; with the goal being that the kernel handles them all with aplomb. However, what we failed to take into account was that we might end up with that final buffer being at address 0, which is in an invalid location to execute from (because reasons) and the kernel would be forced to move it. However, since we have a ring full of busy spinners all using that buffer, we can not move that buffer until we wait for the queue to complete -- which it never will and so we declare a GPU hang, failing the test. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
