Description Mark Janes 2016-09-02 16:20:50 UTC
The following tests skip when run with device override, but fail when run on the real hardware:

- piglit.spec.ext_shader_samples_identical.glsl-es-3_10.compiler.all-functions_vert
- piglit.spec.oes_shader_io_blocks.compiler.layout-location-aliasing_vert

This breaks Intel CI automation designed to bisect failures.  Until this bug is resolved, the tests will be disabled in CI.

This is actually not a piglit issue - it's an issue with how the intel driver does feature enablement. A bunch of features depend on various kernel features, and so the driver does a bunch of "exec" tests on startup, to see what all it can turn on. When you do a device override, it still runs those exec tests, which will generally fail.

I think the solution is to assume all the exec tests pass if there's a device override in place.
Comment 2 Dylan Baker 2016-09-02 17:52:16 UTC
There is the possiblility that there is somethign with piglit's fast skip
actually. We fixed a bug in the python shader_runner layer a bit ago in
892f6e44723eda8d, and I noticed that the fast skip isn't exactly correct, (It
always assumes that the requirements are > or >= and never < or <=), so it
wouldnt' suprise me if there are more limitaitons beyond that.

However, Illia's explination of what's happening makes sense in conjunction
with the way fast skipping works (it relies on wflinfo) so if the driver
doesn't expose the same feature set with devid overrides it would explain why
the tests are being incorrectly marked skip.
