In https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/KernelModuleParameters.html, there is:
Here is a list of engines:
DEVICE
DMAOBJ
PBSP
PCE0
PCE1
PCE2
PCRYPT
PDISP
PFIFO
PGRAPH
PMPEG
PPM
PPPP
PVP
SW
Also, in debug:
CLIENT
I have tried to find a description of those.
https://envytools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
help a bit, but I don't find a precise correlation.
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/NouveauTerms.html
does not seems to have most of these terms.
I am particularly curious about PCE[0-3].
But also about CLIENT, that seems different and mysterious.
I wonder if it is possible to write:
nouveau.debug=info,PDISP=debug
to have the info debug level as the default, but for PDISP have the debug level
Also, my interest is linked to the state of GPU graph given after a context switch timeout that looks like:

where I suspect ce2, is linked to PCE2.
Is there a documentation that describes those "engines"?
