I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out what commit caused this
regression. We need to identify the earliest kernel where the issue
started happening as well as the latest kernel that did not have this
issue.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for
the first kernel version that exhibits this bug:


4.2: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-wily/
4.3: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/
4.4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/


You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the kernel that first has this bug.

Thanks in advance!

Title:
  Docking thinkpad laptop causes a complete system freeze

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Xenial, about 80% of the time when I dock my
  thinkpad laptop I get a complete system freeze. The symptoms of the
  freeze are:

   * The two external monitors connected to the dock seem to be in a
  half-configured state - they're powered on, and display some graphics
  from my desktop, but do not yet show the correct contents.

   * I can't get to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1.

   * I can't kill X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

   * I can't get the mouse cursor to appear or move, either with the
  trackpad or the external mouse.

   * Undocking the laptop doesn't help.

  The only thing I *can* do at this point is to hold down the power
  button.

  I seem to recall similar issues in the past (perhaps in Vivid?), where
  the fix ended up being in the graphics driver.

  The laptop is a T540p. The docking station is an "ultra dock pro" -
  not a USB dock, but rather one of those ones where the laoptop clicks
  into a base.

  This bug makes the docking station rather useless, and makes me sad :(
