This patch adds a new option to force the use of a module specified from
the command line.  The force command expects a module name which will be
used on the target test (changing the standard behavior). This feature
can be useful for developers that have to create a new module since it
is possible to use some of the tests already provided by IGT (e.g.,
kms_color, core, etc.) as a start point. Additionally, it can
also be useful for someone that wants to implement a new set of tests
for a specific driver because the developer can first check the behavior
of any test in the target module. It is important to highlight, that a
force option can produce unexpected results and developers should be
aware of that.

Is this meant for testing replacement drivers for hardware with
already existing drivers? If not, I'm not sure what the goal is here.

Setting a forced module target in this patch changes which module is
loaded by the kernel, but the driver that's opened by IGT is
unchanged. Force-loading my-fancy-driver.ko still makes
drm_open_driver(DRIVER_INTEL) open the one driven by i915.ko, and
drm_open_driver(DRIVER_ANY) still opens the first one that is
recognized.

If this is for testing new drivers for not-already-supported devices,
you need to instead force what drm_open_driver(DRIVER_ANY) will open,
and not reject unknown devices.

Some additional drive-by feedback below.

This will change what is passed to _piglit_ command line, not the test
command line. Above, you added --force-module long option, but didn't
add the -m short option, so this wouldn't do anything anyway.

Consider if passing the force option through the environment would be
easier instead.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for your feedback :)

Just for provide some additional information, follows my context and
motivation for this patch:

We are working on a new module named VKMS [1,2]. In some way, our
development approach is similar to Test-Driven Development (TDD), since
we use IGT tests to support our development process. For example, at the
beginning of the VKMS development we focused on making core_* tests
pass, and now we are using kms_flip and others to help us to implement
new features. For doing it, we changed IGT code to load our
module. After thinking about the changes we made in the IGT, I realize
that force a particular module via command line could be useful for
other users because they can utilize the available tests to help them to
create their modules (as we are doing). Additionally, I think this
feature could be used for test some basic features on modules that
currently aren't part of the IGT.

So, what do you think about that? Do you think that makes sense to have
this feature in the IGT?

I think it is better to force open and load, right?

I got it. I can fix it.

I did not completely understand the idea, what do you mean by force
option through the environment? Make the force command set a flag and
change the code to check it?

Yes! The devil is in the details though.

Forcing the use of a specific driver, that's what we're going to need
in IGT in some form.

After discussing this with you on IRC, I learned that you're running a
VM without any other DRM drivers (loaded). That's why you have this
system working at this time.

When the tests want an fd to a DRM device, drmtest.c tries to open the
first /dev/dri/card<num> that matches what is requested. If everything
fails, it loads all modules it knows about and tries another time,
again opening the first /dev/dri/card<num> that matches the request.

If you had, say, i915 loaded or builtin, you'd have /dev/dri/card0
already, and it would be used for DRIVER_ANY opens regardless of
whether you modprobe vkms. If vkms was builtin, modprobe would change
nothing.

One force option that we absolutely need is selecting what DRIVER_ANY
means, in a device that has multiple DRM drivers available. Another is
forcing which /dev/dri/card<num> to use, with or without overriding
what DRIVER_ANY means. Forcing a modprobe on a particular driver isn't
strictly speaking a third option, but tied to the two.

(One could argue that modprobing a driver can also be done from one's
testing scripts, but drivers can be left unloaded by e.g. a test that
checks module unloading.)

An approach I came up with is setting a string and in drmtest.c,
__open_device(),

if (force_string && chipset == DRIVER_ANY && __is_device(fd,
force_string))
	return fd;

That would force vkms to be used by setting force_string to "vkms",
assuming DRM_IOCTL_VERSION gives that as its name. That allows vkms to
be builtin, and other drivers to be loaded.

In addition to that, setting another force string could be used to
modprobe a specific module. In addition to what is already loaded by
the modprobe loop, forcing the device name in the above code would
mean other drivers won't be used.

For those following along at home, correction to this: drm_open_driver
does not reject unknown devices, I misread the code.

As you might have learned now, the command line piglit (or the new
runner currently in review phase) uses to launch IGT tests is
hardcoded. What I meant was setting force options through the
environment, and then launching piglit or the tests themselves.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

I believe that I understood all of your comments. I will start the first
version of the patch.

Best Regards

> That would force vkms to be used by setting force_string to "vkms",
