On older HW, gen2/3, fence registers are used for detiling GPU commands and as such changing those registers requires serialisation with the requests on the GPU. Anything running on the GPU is subject to a hang, and so we must be able to recover cleanly in the middle of a stuck wait on a fence register. We can simulate using the fence on the GPU simply by marking the fence as active on the request for this vma, the interface being common to all gen, thus broadening the test.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
