Hi Andrzej,

Capturing error state is time consuming (up to 350ms on DG2), so it should be avoided if possible. Context reset triggered by context removal is a
good example.
With this patch multiple igt tests will not timeout and should run faster.

Just to be on the safe side, can we also have the ack from any of
the GuC folks? Daniele, John?

You definitely don't want to replay requests of a context that is going away.

Without guc_context_replay I see timeouts. Probably because guc_context_replay calls __guc_reset_context. I am not sure if there is need to dig deeper, stay with my initial proposition, or sth like:

    if (likely(!intel_context_is_banned(ce))) {
        if (!intel_context_is_exiting(ce)) {
            capture_error_state(guc, ce);
            guc_context_replay(ce);
        } else {
            __guc_reset_context(ce, ce->engine->mask);
        }
    } else {

The latter is also working.

This seems to be an issue with the context close path when hangcheck is disabled. In that case we don't call the revoke() helper, so we're not clearing the context state in the guc backend and therefore we require __guc_reset_context() in the reset handler to do so. I'd argue that the proper solution would be to ban the context on close in the hangcheck disabled scenario and not just rely on the pulse, which btw I'm not sure works with GuC submission with a preemptable context because the GUC will just schedule the context back in unless we send an H2G to explicitly disable it. Not sure why we're not banning right now though, so I'd prefer if someone knowledgeable could chime in in case there is a good reason for it.

This seems at least in part due to https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/487531/, where we replaced the "context_ban" with "context_exiting". There are several places where we skipped operations if the context was banned (here included) which are now not covered anymore for exiting contexts. Maybe we need a new checker function to check both flags in places where we don't care why the context is being removed (ban vs exiting), just that it is?
