-Naming Convention of i-g-t Tests and Subtests
-=============================================
-
-To facilitate easy test selection with piglit we need a somewhat consistent
-naming scheme for tests and subtests.
-
-Test Prefixes
--------------
-
-core_: Test for core drm ioctls and behaviour.
-
-kms_: Used for modesetting tests.
-
-drm_: Tests for libdrm behaviour, currently just testing the buffer cache
-reaping.
-
-gem_: Used for all kinds of GEM tests.
-
-prime_: Used for buffer sharing tests, both for self-importing (used by
-dri3/wayland) and actual multi-gpu tests.
-
-drv_: Tests for overall driver behaviour like module reload, s/r, debugfs files.
-
-pm_: Tests for power management features like runtime PM, tuning knobs in sysfs
-and also performance tuning features.
-
-gen3_: Used by Chris' gen3 specific tiling/fencing tests. Generally tests that
-only run on some platforms don't have a specific prefix but just skip on
-platforms where the test doesn't apply.
-
-debugfs_/sysfs_: Mostly for tests that use sysfs/debugfs but tend to tests all
-sorts of things. Please consider using a more appropriate prefix from above if
-the main point isn't to test sysfs/debugfs, but a driver subsystem/feature.
-
-igt_: Testcase which test the i-g-t infrastructure itself and which are all run
-through "make check" while building i-g-t.
-
-(Sub-)Test patterns
--------------------
-
-Much more powerful for filtering sets of tests are patterns anywhere in either
-the test or subtest name.
-
-hang: Tests that provoke gpu hangs
-
-swap: Tests that force their full working sets through swap. Dreadfully slow on
-machines with spinning rust and tons of memory.
-
-thrash: Tests that tend to have really slow forward progress due to
-gtt/memory/.. thrashing. Mostly used to stress-test error-handling corner-cases.
-
-crc: Tests that use the display CRC infrastructure to check the results.
-
-tiled/tiling: Tests that exercise behaviour on tiled buffers.
-
-normal/uncached/snoop: Usual 3 variants for tests that use different coherency
-modes for the buffer objects they're using.
-
-rte: _R_un_t_ime _e_nviroment checks. For testcases which will fail if the
-machine isn't configured properly there should be a first subtest to just check
-for that.
-
-ctx: Tests that exercise the hw context support.
-
-render/blt/bsd/vebox: Tests which apply to individual rings should use these
-suffixes. They're a bit inconsistent and historically grown, but they new Bspec
-names (RCS, BCS, VCS and VECS) aren't really clearer.
-
-exec: Tests that exercise the execbuf code in various ways.
-
-rpm: Runtime PM tests.
