So the thing is. I tried this exact change in the past and had to revert it due to regression. I suggest you take a look at:
Unreviewed, revert r255662 as it seems to cause blank views in SVC.

The title is misleading since we are already going that. You are merely doing it in a different way.

Ah, that is interesting!

Do you think it is possible that the process could suspend before the assertion is taken?

Thanks for reviewing!

No idea. RunningBoard logging would tell you though.
