Are you referring to the generality of the migration code itself or to the generality of using a list in this patch to register multiple pinned contexts to an engine? For the migration code itself, I figured reserving one copy engine for migration was strictly needed for recoverable page-faults? In the current version we're not doing that, but just tying a pinned migration context to the first available copy engine on the gt, to be used when we don't have a ww context available to pin a separate context using a random copy engine. Note also the ring size of the migration contexts; since we're populating the page-tables for each blit, it's not hard to fill the ring and in the end multiple contexts I guess boils down to avoiding priority inversion on migration, including blocking high priority kernel context tasks. As for not using the gt->vm, I'm not completely sure if we can do our special page-table setup on that, Got to defer that question to Chris, but once Ram's work of supporting 64K LMEM PTEs on that has landed I guess we could easily reuse the gt->vm if possible and suitable. Thanks, /Thomas
