Yes, no. I will try to push as much of the migration into the culprit, but there will always be a need for kswapd/kcompactd for background cleanup and a get-out-of-jail. That should be the kernel_context as far as I am concerned. > OA can handle the changing config between kernel and other contexts? Imo, the less spying on things it is not privileged to spy on the better. I have no idea how stable it is, the code gives a very underwhelming impression. -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
