Obviously if we have a dead gpu, we need to break out of this loop. But detecting a dead gpu (and returning an appropriate error like EIO) is the kernel's job.
In my case gpu isn't really dead. It works after some ioctl skip. I understend that it is a driver bug in any case, but i thing that working around this bugs with proper logging (absent in this patch) much better than lockup.
But your workaround isn't harmless. It adds new failure modes for other cases that currently work. That's worse, not better.
