Do you think it will be useful for the prop to accept struct 
drm_i915_gem_context_param_sseu, which gives you effectively a redundant 
engine which you here verify? I suppose it is handy not having to define 
a new struct in uapi and being trivially able to use the same helper.

Perhaps you could ignore the engine param and document that? If one day 
that would make it easier attaching the same sseu config to multiple 
props. Highly hypothetical I know. No strong feeling either way.

You could move the props->sseu init here and then you woudn't have to 
have the drm_sseu field in the props. It just feels a bit inelegant to 
have it for transferring data around.

Then if you would also check (or ignore) the sseu engine matches the 
props engine here, you wouldn't need get_sseu_config(), could just call 
i915_gem_user_to_context_sseu directly.

Would just leave the privileged has_sseu check in the ioctl. (Which also 
feels a bit strange to me but we talked about it before. :)

[Comes back later.]

But then I see the sseu is actually copied one more time to it's final 
destination in i915_oa_stream_init. Should you then store just drm_sseu 
in the props and do the final application into perf->sseu directly in 
i915_oa_stream_init?

read_properties_unlocked:
	copy_from_user
	has_sseu = true

i915_perf_open_ioctl_locked:
	privileged_op = props->has_sseu

i915_oa_stream_init
	if (props->has_sseu)
		i915_gem_user_to_context_sseu(&perf->sseu, props->sseu)
	else
		get_default_sseu_config(&perf->sseu, props->engine);

What do you think?

No major complaints, just bikeshedding it a little bit. :) If you feel 
it is good enough as is then I agree it is passable.
