It sporadically fails on IVB with mesa master branch, fail rate:1/10

It also happens on 10.5 branch.
Comment 2 lu hua 2015-04-29 06:10:42 UTC
Test on the latest mesa master branch 10 cycles, it always fails.

Comment 3 Juan A. Suarez 2016-11-03 16:14:21 UTC
This seems to has improved.

Using Mesa 13.1.0-devel (git-9f150ff) in IVB, almost all times the test pass without problems.

From time to time I get a warn instead, "iteration 0 woke up 2 MSCs later than expected"
Comment 4 Illia Iorin 2018-07-03 13:51:12 UTC
I made an investigation and came to the conclusion that the behavior of this test is based on such characteristics of the monitor as resolution and frequency, and on the window manager(different behavior on gnome and unity ).With resolution 1600x900 this test pass 88/100 times and with resolution 1920x1080 this test pass 11/100 times. Analyzing how the GLX_OML_sync_control  extension implements  in mesa, you can see that there are no calculation  based on the influencing characteristics. That means this is not a Mesa bug. This bug doesn't depend on gpu intel gpu architecture, because the test behavior the same on the KBL, IVB and HSW. You can have different behavior, if you change the characteristics of the display, or install another window manager. I think it's necessary to make at least one change in this test. I can’t quite understand where this constant(50) was taken. 

timing.c:311 
if (fabs (expected_msc_wallclock_duration - msc_wallclock_duration_stats.mean)> 50) 

I think we can increase it to 200, after that test will be working more stable.
