HdCycles is easy to hang loading larger .usda files

Does not hang without setting PXR_PLUGINPATH_NAME, i.e., using the usdview’s GL renderer.

The .usda file is not very large, just 5+ MiB.

By changing “std::string deviceType = Device::string_from_type(DEVICE_CPU);” to DEVICE_CUDA, I can load the .usda by running usdview from command line, but “Reopen stage” still hangs in detatchedTask.cpp > Work_EnsureDetachedTaskProgress():

                    while (true) {
                        // Process detached tasks.
                        dispatcher.Wait();
                        // Now sleep for a bit, and try again.
                        using namespace std::chrono_literals;
                        std::this_thread::sleep_for(50ms);
                    }

The callstack contains only this much info.

I can debug throught appController.py > _reopenStage without hanging.

session.cpp

  scene_lock.unlock();
  scene->load_kernels(progress);
  scene_lock.lock(); // Might hang.
