Title: System freeze due to "angry" nouveau driver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Starting with the 3.19 kernels (Vivid), the system frequently freezes in the nouveau driver, with the following lines (w/ out timestamp and hostname) always being reported in "/var/log/kern.log" and/or "/var/log/syslog" just before the system becomes unresponsive and a hard reset becomes necessary. nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] still angry after 101 spins, halt The bug is also reported in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87244, and the fix seems to be to cherry pick https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=adc346b133c952ec6988d90f6fa79cbe0a3eb7ef which is included in Linux 4.0 (if I am not mistaken).
