GPU hangs are not signalled via execbuf. The only time userspace is told via execbuf is when the kernel rejects the cmdbuffer (EIO when it can't program the hardware queues). EIO notification currently is at the wait points, and with manually querying. Having a signal would fit in nicely with the async nature of cmdbuffers and be useful today - though I don't know how practical it is to extend the signal ABI. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
