[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 08/10] drm/i915: Report whether we have true context isolation

Chris Wilson chris at chris-wilson.co.uk
Sat Nov 4 10:44:57 UTC 2017


Let userspace know if they can trust that new contexts are created using
HW default values; and avoid inheriting state from existing contexts.

Note: I intend to squash this into the bugfix once we agree on the uabi.
