My prediction is that this will result in this context being reset due
to preemption timeouts and the context under profile being banned.
Note that preemption timeouts will be the primary means for hang
detection for endless batches. -Chris
Thanks,

One question : how is that dealt with with compute workloads at the moment?
I though those where still not fully preemptable.
Not blocking is the condition under which they get to use endless...
compute jobs are preemptible from gen9 afaik, gen8 was problematic and so
disabled.
I need to rework this with a more "software" approach holding on preemption.
Adding a condition in intel_lrc.c need_preempt() looks like the right
direction?
Even less if that is our means of hangcheck.
-Chris


Can we differentiate between a hangcheck & a high priority request?

If I remember correctly, we can set the hangcheck timeout somewhere in /sys.

I think it's fine to ban the context doing a perf query if it's taking too long.


If a user runs into that scenario we can tell them to increase the timeout.
