Hmm, so kernel will use GuC submission if bit 0 of enable_guc module param is 1, correct? Which is what gem_has_guc_submission() checks, though I guess we can also add a function gem_using_guc_submission() which is basically an alias for gem_has_guc_submission(). So we can't do this? Or the module param is not an acceptable uapi? But we already introduced gem_has_guc_submission()? I think this kind of a generation/version check should be implemented in the kernel. If kernel wants to turn on GuC submission by default let it do that and set enable_guc. In IGT we just check enable_guc. No? Thanks.

The gem_exec_fair test is specifically testing scheduler algorithm
performance. However, GuC does not implement the same algorithm as
execlist mode and this test is not applicable. So, until sw arch
approves a new algorithm and it is implemented in GuC, stop running
the test.

Probably a feature check rather than a version check is better? Can we use
say gem_has_guc_submission() instead?
Though appears gem_has_guc_submission() only checks if guc submission is
available, not if it is actually in use (unless guc will used when
available automatically)? Is it possible to add the check if guc submission
is actually in use? Or a check for guc scheduler?
I believe this has come up a few times before. My understanding is that
no, there is no current official/safe way for userland to check if GuC
submission is enabled (you can read some of the debugfs files and make
an educated guess but that isn't exactly an official interface). And the
answer was that it isn't worth adding a UAPI specifically for it. Not
least because it would be a UAPI solely for use by IGT which is not allowed.

Probably a feature check rather than a version check is better? Can we use
say gem_has_guc_submission() instead?
Though appears gem_has_guc_submission() only checks if guc submission is
available, not if it is actually in use (unless guc will used when
available automatically)? Is it possible to add the check if guc submission
is actually in use? Or a check for guc scheduler?
