Re: [PATCH i-g-t] lib/igt_core.c: Expand --run-subtest functionality.

I really like the thought of having this functionality in i-g-t,
especially if combined with my patches that allows for categorising
subtests (I'll submit a new version of those patches soon, since they
never got merged last time around). I'll refrain from bikeshedding on
the syntax.

In the longer run I think a rewrite of the subtest logic to allow not
only specifying what tests to run and/or exclude, but also to specify
what *order* to run the tests in (if reordering is possible) and to
randomise the order would be useful.

Since some testcases contain so many subtests that having those
testcases be a part of the CI/Piglit testruns isn't possible,
we need some way to have those tests run anyway.

My current train of thought is to either traverse through the tests
(1..20, 21..40, 41..60, etc.; which would require piglit to keep state,
which it currently doesn't) or to randomise a set of subtests that would
take something like 30s.

This might mean that things could slip under the radar for a long time,
but compared to today's situation where these tests aren't run at all
it'd still be an improvement.

Just my 2¢.


Kind regards, David Weinehall
