Hi,

I915_PARAM_HAS_CONTEXT_ISOLATION was already being used as a boolean by
both Iris and Vulkan , and stood for the guarantee that, when creating a
new context, all state set by it will not leak to any other context.
However the actual return value was a bitmask where every bit stood for an
initialised engine, and IGT test gem_ctx_isolation makes use of this mask
for deciding on the actual context engine isolation status.
However, we do not provide UAPI for IGT tests, so the value returned by the
PARAM ioctl has to reflect Mesa usage as a boolean.
a)
I suggest splitting into two patches. One changes the semantics to boolean, second one changes it for RCS+CCS.
b)
What about test coverage - both for platforms with RCS+CSS (media and blitter stop being tested - all coverage is gone basically) and also for pre Gen8 platforms, are there failures expected there? (Test will try to run on some engines which do not support isolation now, no?)
This change only made sense after compute engine support was added to the
driver in commit 944823c9463916dd53f3 ("drm/i915/xehp: Define compute class
and engine") because no context isolation can be assumed on any device with
both RCS annd CCS engines.
Isn't it an arbitrary decision when thinking about other engine classes (media, blitter) on those platforms? Commit message should be clear in that respect.
Also, looking at iris:
if (iris_getparam_integer(fd, I915_PARAM_HAS_CONTEXT_ISOLATION) <= 0) {
debug_error("Kernel is too old for Iris. Consider upgrading to kernel v4.16.\n");
return NULL;
}
Won't this make Iris fail on RCS+CCS platforms - or I need to look at a newer branch/pull request? What is the plan there?

I think this landed so you will need to rebase.

Naming feels lackluster (Intel what?). Do you expect other callers or could just implement the check in i915_getparam.c, inside the switch statement?

You could first just check if there are any RCS and CCS engines (for instance i915->engine_uabi_class_count[], or RCS/CCS_MASK()).

?
There also may be little point in even calling intel_engines_has_context_isolation, when the desired output is a boolean and could just make it feature or Gen based. Decision for later though, after some clarifications.

"Engine whose default state has been initialised" does not sound very helpful for userspace developers. Like what determines if that has happened or not, and the fact userspace is more about context state rather than engine state.
Existing text which talked about engines supporting contexts and not leaking state sounded better TBF. So overall I think you deleted too much of the text. Can't you just change the ending, from the point where it goes into individual engines and bitmap, replacing with the new explanation?
