I thought IGT had added some random reset stuff in the way that we have
for signals. However, it looks like I imagined it. I guess you can add
gem_hang, gem_reset_stats, and tests/debugfs_wedged to that list. Daniel
can probably provide any I might have missed.

The way that igt quiesces everything these days really hurts the ability
to test multi-process. If every tests starts off with no work, and
running the default context, things are pretty trivial. Similarly,
running these tests in isolation, even if it isn't quiescing doesn't
help the situation. The way I wrote the code originally was through
debugging hangs on a desktop as I developed patches, and not with IGT
(though drv_hangman could catch many issues). I'd definitely recommend
trying to invoke hangs on a running desktop. I'd advise doing this by
modifying mesa to submit a crap batch, I can provide you more details on
how to do this if you need it. Also try to disable the quiescing in IGT
and run more than these tests in isolation.

I will try to reproduce this on my patch series when I have some time
and if nothing else, that should be a good preparation/refresher for the
patch review anyway. The patches I wrote shouldn't have touched much on
these paths - not sure if Michel changed anything there.

With patch on top of what Michel sent you, everything passes?
