I suggested that we add the module parameters to the error-state to aide, though even that is not fool proof as they could change between the driver doing an undefined op and it fouling up the GPU. Any sign of conflicting information inside the error-state is meant to be thought provoking. ;-) The idea is to dump as much information as we can about the errors and leave the complex art of interpretation up to userspace. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre
