Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.6 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Xenial desktop unusable under simple I/O through USB

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  Hello!

  After installing Xenial [0] I experience the following: when I do I/O through USB (to/from simple pendrives, or an
  external HDD I have), the desktop becomes unusable, because it goes very very unresponsive.

  With unresponsive I mean:

  - all windows go greyed out (like when it's failing to answer in time,
  as if the process inside that window locked up)

  - firefox and thunderbird start to pop up the typical "the script is taking too much to finis, want to kill
  it/continue/etc" (in whatever tab I'll be, so it's not the JS scripts (for once!)

  - the mouse pointer goes jumpy, not really following my hand movement

  - I see in thee indicator-multiload widget that CPU time is "wasted"
  in "waiting i/o"; which I confirmed looking at "top".

  So, in short: even while understanding that CPU would wait a little for i/o and that the system will be under a little
  load by writing a pen-drive, I find current situation beyond a normal experience.

  How can I start to debug this? What I can try? Can I provide you more
  info?

  Thanks!
