I took this idea and posted a patchset as a separate thread. The approach you suggested feels more 'right' as it is lot less complex and we don't need acthd nor knowledge about address spaces to find the guilty. Only drawback I can now think of is that if gpu hangs just after writing the seqno to hardware status page, we end up blaming the wrong request. But if this is a problem we could double check with acthd that they point to the same req. -Mika _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
