The gem_exec_fair test is specifically testing scheduler algorithm
performance. However, GuC does not implement the same algorithm as
execlist mode and this test is not applicable. So, until sw arch
approves a new algorithm and it is implemented in GuC, stop running
the test.

Probably a feature check rather than a version check is better? Can we use
say gem_has_guc_submission() instead?

Though appears gem_has_guc_submission() only checks if guc submission is
available, not if it is actually in use (unless guc will used when
available automatically)? Is it possible to add the check if guc submission
is actually in use? Or a check for guc scheduler?
I believe this has come up a few times before. My understanding is that no, there is no current official/safe way for userland to check if GuC submission is enabled (you can read some of the debugfs files and make an educated guess but that isn't exactly an official interface). And the answer was that it isn't worth adding a UAPI specifically for it. Not least because it would be a UAPI solely for use by IGT which is not allowed.

John.
