Niel,
On my x1e device, all submissions were somehow going into only a single
ring, even the compositor's. Not sure why. So effectively preemption was
not really exercised. I had to force one of the two benchmark I ran
using the "highprio" mesa debug flag force submittions to ring 0.
If possible it is a good idea to check the new preemption traces to
ensure preemption kicks in.
