["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Witold Szczeponik, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from
the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com
/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for
testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions
are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This
will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

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.)
