If the GPU samples from both an ASTC5x5 texture and one with an aux buffer without a texture cache invalidate between such accesses, then the GPU hangs, which in turn makes the system unresponsive for a few seconds until the kernel resets the GPU; then an ioctl will fail in i965 which means things are very bad usually and (for me atleast on my system with how I build mesa) the application crashes.

I think his question is -- is there anything we can do about the case
where a single shader program samples ASTC5x5 and a texture with an
aux buffer? Presumably there's no way to invalidate the texture cache
during a shader program, so what can you do?
