I see. As it happens, since just a week ago most OpenCL formats do not
auto-tune in init() but when their reset() function is called with a
NULL db argument. This happens early within self-test.
And reset() is called again once, after self-tests and right before real
cracking starts. But this time with a db argument. Nothing stops you
from adding to Pomelo, that when reset() is called with an actual db
pointer, it examines the db and adjusts its buffers and/or workgroup
sizes accordingly.
Would that solve your problem? The first thing you need to do is rebase
on latest bleeding-jumbo, then apply changes to pomelo-opencl similar to
what happened to mysqlsha1-opencl in commit ef4b3dbb. Then add whatever
code you like in reset().
