I first tested linux-
image-4.6.0-040600rc1-generic_4.6.0-040600rc1.201603261930_amd64.deb and
it *did* freeze.

I then tested linux-
image-4.6.0-040600rc7-generic_4.6.0-040600rc7.201605081830_amd64.deb and
it did not crash.

I then tested linux-
image-4.6.0-040600rc4-generic_4.6.0-040600rc4.201604172330_amd64.deb and
it did not crash.

I then tested linux-
image-4.6.0-040600rc3-generic_4.6.0-040600rc3.201604120934_amd64.deb and
it did not crash. However, when shutting down after my test, it oopsed
and then did not shutdown, so I had to power off hard. I've captured the
oops with my phone's cam if it's of any interest. Looked like a crash in
the filesystem. Could have been a random btrfs crasher.

Then, I tested linux-
image-4.6.0-040600rc2-generic_4.6.0-040600rc2.201604031130_amd64.deb and
it *did* freeze after the first attempt to dock it to the station.  I
have not repeated the test though.

It felt as if the rc3 was also very slow when docking or undocking. It
took a few seconds for the screen to blink, which happens every time my
monitor configuration changes (i.e. after docking or undocking).

So the change happened somewhere between rc2 and rc3.
Note that my interest in building multiple kernels now is not very high.

Title:
  attaching a docking station only work once, second time freezes

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I can reliably make Linux freeze.

  If I boot past the cryptsetup password dialog into GDM (I think),
  attach a docking station, unattach, then reattach, the system freezes.
  At least I cannot move the mouse cursor anymore, switch VTs, reboot,
  num lock doesn't toggle.

  I think it works well when *not* booting into GDM, but staying at the
  passphrase dialogue of the initramfs.

  I'm having a Thinkpad X240 with two external monitors.

  This is the standard ubuntu kernel, I haven't tested upstream kernels
  just yet. I'm intending to test with      linux-
  image-4.6.0-040600-generic_4.6.0-040600.201605151930_amd64.deb  from
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety/ now.
