I did more digging and I figured out why this test hangs. The test looks at an engine class where there's more than one of that class (currently only vcs) and creates a context where engine[0] is all of the engines of that class bonded together and engine[1-N] is each of those engines individually. It then tests that you can submit a batch to one of the individual engines and then submit with EXEC_FENCE_SUBMIT to the balanced engine and the kernel will sort it out. This doesn't seem like a use-case we care about. If we cared about anything, I would expect it to be submitting to two balanced contexts and expecting "pick any two" behavior. But that's not what the test is testing for. --Jason _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
