In any case this is not a render node issue and there is no reasons to force full VRAM eviction or anything like that.
This comment suggests you haven't read the discussion fully.
VRAM eviction was discussed in the context of legacy nodes.
This is a render node issue because with legacy nodes you can work around insufficient command checking. With render nodes you can't.
On radeon you can not abuse the GPU period legacy node or not. My comment was about the fact that this is a driver issue and not a render node issue. I would consider driver that allow to abuse the GPU block to access any memory as broken no matter if we are talking about legacy or new render node.
