Nope, just full-ppgtt is required (and provides a sensible hangcheck
test if !48bit as well).

Note this does require that the hangcheck is enabled, so igt_require().

The vm is entirely empty. Just submit an unterminated (empty) batch, and
it will walk from 0 to 1<<48bit and around and around and around and
around...
I chose to jump instead of just leaving the batch unterminated to
cover the (rare) case where the rest of the allocated 4k of the
batch contain some random values, which could cause a hang and thus
falsely pass the test.
That would be a huge kernel bug. Freshly allocated buffers have to be
zero to avoid information leaks. I hope you are confusing allocating
from the userspace buffer cache with a fresh kernel allocation...

Apologies for the confusion, you're correct I was thinking about it from a libdrm level and not from a bare kernel level.
