Children probably can't write into it before, but still would probably 
be better moved before the first fork (which passes the results array to 
children).

Aren't children mostly sleeping waiting on fences and like? And if so 
how/when the test ends up using a lot of CPU time?

Put some human readable text above the asserts explaining the criteria 
please.

VIP child takes part in the mean and does not affect the result?

Log all three just as well?

Three equal priority contexts - why would distribution be expected to be 
unfair? Intuitively I'd expect a check that all three are within some 
tolerance of each other, but okay, min and max is good enough, just 
don't understand the asserts. Max can just as well be equal to min, no? 
I mean and scheduler would still be considered fair. We should ignore 
the submission order I think, if that was the point.

Seem clean and logical on the high level and on the implementation 
level. On the "medium" level I don't claim I tried to understand 
everything but it's not completely important. With medium level I mean 
all the different test scenarios, where the important thing is that as 
long as all children are doing the same thing, which I think they are 
(small open of VIP), it seems correct to test they will get equal amount 
of GPU time.

All subtests pass with the fair scheduler patches?

Tvrtko
