For the purposes of checking that the kernel honours the ABI, the tests belong in gem_exec_params. For the purposes of CI, a testing going from PASS -> SKIP is just as indicative of a problem as test going from PASS -> FAIL or any other state. > What I wanted to fix here is the fact that the logic to skip the > test and the test itself are identical, which means that this test > can't fail.

Basically the logic is repeated, that is not an issue for its purpose. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
