It's worse than this. If the engine in question is an individual
physical engine then sending a pulse (with sufficiently high priority)
will pre-empt the engine and kick the context off. However, the GuC
scheduler does not have hacks in it to check the state of the heartbeat
or whether a context is actually a zombie or not. Thus, the context will
get resubmitted to the hardware after the pulse completes and
effectively nothing will have happened.
I would assume that the DRM scheduler which we are meant to be switching
to for execlist as well as GuC submission is also unlikely to have hacks
for zombie contexts and tests for whether the i915 specific heartbeat
has been disabled since the context became a zombie. So when that switch
happens, this test will also fail in execlist mode as well as GuC mode.
The choices I see here are to simply remove persistence completely (it
is a basically a bug that became UAPI because it wasn't caught soon
enough!) or to implement it in a way that does not require hacks in the
back end scheduler. Apparently, the DRM scheduler is expected to allow
zombie contexts to persist until the DRM file handle is closed. So
presumably we will have to go with option two.
That means flagging a context as being a zombie when it is closed but
still active. The driver would then add it to a zombie list owned by the
DRM client object. When that client object is closed, i915 would go
through the list and genuinely kill all the contexts. No back end
scheduler hacks required and no intimate knowledge of the i915 heartbeat
mechanism required either.
