There isn't much you can do about shaders not terminating (loop limiting in
llvmpipe is quite a hack, you could legitimately have a loop which has more
iterations).
But yes, gpu reset actually working reliably would be nice. I haven't really
seen it succeed lately neither (but it can happen...).
I disagree that loop unrolling isn't a problem. Clearly there's two problems:
- loop unrolling shouldn't turn perfectly fine loops into loops which don't
terminate, this is what this bug is about.
- gpu reset should work reliably
