Open from last round is how likely is forced preemption to be compiled
out, in which case the code will always fall back to reset immediately,
even if workload would otherwise preempt just fine. (Given the dangers
of reset hitting something unrelated as you explained.)
Could you always compile in forced preemption so it could be used on
context close? I am thinking, allow it to be disabled via sysfs on its
own, but on context close have it active for the context being closed so
that if the pulse does not work it can kick in and reset. Sounds nicer
than just resorting to engine reset, which as you described, can impact
someone innocent.
