We have a number of bugs where execbuf fails after a number of hours running an application or some random conditions and it's almost impossible to figure out where the problem lies. Having a way for i915 to report what validation the input parameters actually fail would more helpful than EINVAL. Some of the virtual engine stuff could also fit in there but maybe the timeline is too tight for that. We've added a i915_query mechanism that is easily extendable and after exposing topology, it seems to be useful for adding other types of queries (engine discovery, memory regions and the series in [2] also exposes performance query configuration data). I would really like to see a similar mechanism for an execbuf3. How can we help getting started in that direction? Do people have a better idea?
