[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] i915/gem_exec_alignment: Exercise potential priority inversion

[Chris Wilson]

From: Dominik Grzegorzek <dominik.grzegorzek at intel.com>

A low priority client should not block a high priority client. In this
case we check that if a low priority client poisons its own GTT and so
its execbuf may take ages to process, a high priority client can still
execute in parallel.
