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?

I am not sure here - if we have a persistent context which caused a GPU hang I'd expect we'd still want error capture.

What causes the reset in the affected IGTs? Always preemption timeout?

          guc_context_replay(ce);

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

My intention was to just avoid error capture, but that's even better, only condition change:
-        if (likely(!intel_context_is_banned(ce))) {
+       if (likely(intel_context_is_schedulable(ce)))  {

Yes that helper was intended to be used for contexts which should not be scheduled post exit or ban.

Daniele - you say there are some misses in the GuC backend. Should most, or even all in intel_guc_submission.c be converted to use intel_context_is_schedulable? My idea indeed was that "ban" should be a level up from the backends. Backend should only distinguish between "should I run this or not", and not the reason.

I think that all of them should be updated, but I'd like Matt B to confirm as he's more familiar with the code than me.

Right, that sounds plausible to me as well.

One thing I forgot to mention - the only place where backend can care between "schedulable" and "banned" is when it picks the preempt timeout for non-schedulable contexts. This is to only apply the strict 1ms to banned (so bad or naught contexts), while the ones which are exiting cleanly get the full preempt timeout as otherwise configured. This solves the ugly user experience quirk where GPU resets/errors were logged upon exit/Ctrl-C of a well behaving application (using non-persistent contexts). Hopefully GuC can match that behaviour so customers stay happy.

Tvrtko
