Reading the source and the test-suite is advisable ;-) - We actually don't hang here if the MI_DISPLAY_FLIP doesn't happen. - We already recover the display state (not so relevant here where we shut it off, but in the set_base path where we have the same problem with waiting for flips). - We have extensive test coverage for gpu hangs vs. flips in all kinds of contrived situations in igt. That leaves us with the flip not completing in the hw after the MI_DISPLAY_FLIP has executed. Usually that just means we miss a workaround or have a bug in our code, and again we have extensive testcases for this. Furthermore the hang recover code is ridiculously tricky - just for 3.12-fixes I've hunted down 3 deadlocks in there. By bailing out too early you have a good chance to confuse the code and actually make matters worse ;-) Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
