Thanks for CC'ing me. I also saw a reply from Jason yesterday, but I
don't see it in the list now (though my mail client a mess lately).
But he asked whether it's possible for Media and OpenCL drivers to
also disable mid-thread preemption through the
INTERFACE_DESCRIPTOR_DATA, instead of from the kernel side, so we could
try to experiment with it in the future.
Also, do you have an idea of how broken it is? Or is it just not tested
because no driver is currently implementing it? And do you know if the
windows 3D drivers implement it at all? I see code in the driver that
seems to me that it's only disabled in certain cases...
To summarize, I think we should either:
1) Disable mid-thread preemption from the kernel and not whitelist
the register (just like you do in this patch); or
2) Not do anything at all from the kernel, and let userspace disable
it if needed.
I think 2) is better, if it's not an issue to the other userspace
drivers (OpenCL and Media).
