Title:
  System freeze due to "angry" nouveau driver

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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).

  Here's some more info:

  lsb_release -rd:
  Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Release: 14.04

  Affected package:
  linux-generic-lts-vivid-3.19.0.28.15

  (As the affected package breaks my system reliably several times a
  day, I reverted to linux-generic-lts-utopic.)
