Ok, I saw in test spinner were marked not preemptible, but then I made them preemptible with below change, still see the failure when CCS goes reset.

@@ -477,7 +477,7 @@ test_legacy_mode(int fd, uint32_t vm, uint64_t addr, uint64_t userptr,
                uint64_t pad;
                uint32_t data;
        } *data;
-       struct xe_spin_opts spin_opts = { .preempt = false };
+       struct xe_spin_opts spin_opts = { .preempt = true };

Is this expected if not could this be test or KMD or GuC issue?
