[PATCH] drm/i915: Allow unready gpu to be reset on gen8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Gen9 has had demonstrated cases where forcing a not ready gpu
into reset has caused system hang [1].

Gen8 has never to this date demonstrated such behaviour.

In our CI tests bsw sometimes ends up in a state where it claims it
is not ready for reset, based on reset request, after gpu hang.

Allow gen8 to reset even after claims of nonreadiness in order
to keep the gpu accessible. Enhance logging so that it will be
clear what conditions led to decision of proceeding or bailing out,
so that we will spot if this way of forcing our will against gpu turns
out to be foolhardy.
