It would not surprise me if you could pick a large value like 1 second
and issue a warning if that time outever triggers. It sounds like the
condition where we wait indefinitely today is because something went
wrong in the driver.
We wait here for all GPU jobs in flight which belong to the dying entity
to complete. The driver submits
the GPU jobs but the content of the job might be is not under driver's
control and could take
long time to finish or even hang (e.g. graphic or compute shader) , I
guess that why originally the wait is indefinite.
