Metal crash after painting 300 Foliage meshes onto a surface

Metal crash after painting 300 Foliage meshes onto a surface

Description

Encountered a Metal crash when painting Foliage on Mac.
I'm unable to reproduce anything similar on Windows.

This crash can occur if the user drags a Static Mesh into the Foliage Panel or uses an existing Foliage Asset.
Tested with several large Static Mesh surfaces - painted foliage still causes a crash with the same callstack. The Landscape is not necessary, though it is the easiest repro.

I cannot reproduce this issue in the current 4.16.3 Binary (CL 3564957); as such, this issue is marked as a regression.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new Landscape
  2. Enter Foliage Mode
  3. Add a Static Mesh to the Foliage Panel
  4. Paint until the mesh count in the Foliage Panel reaches ~300 meshes

Result:
Editor crashes with a callstack referencing Metal RHI

Expected Result:
Foliage is painted without errors, warnings, or crashes
