Linux 6.11 Bringing "Hardware Replay" Feature For Intel Graphics Debugging
The main set of drm-intel-gt-next patches aiming for the Linux 6.11 kernel were submitted this week to DRM-Next
This should ease the process for Intel driver developers to reproduce GPU hangs experienced on real hardware where as up to this point they were only able to accomplish this using simulations. However, as this feature is only intended for Intel/Mesa developers, the new user-space API is hidden behind a Kconfig option and run-time enablement switches. This will hopefully lead to a more bug-free experience for Intel Linux customers with developers being able to better replay and reproduce hardware hangs moving forward.
