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 v4.7-rc1 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.

[Kevin (kevinhaefeli)]

yes, the issue started happening after an upgrade from 15.10
but there were 2-3 weeks without problems (after the upgrade)
so I think it's probably not directly related to the upgrade.

I'll test the new upstream kernel and update the tag.

[Kevin (kevinhaefeli)]

actually I can't boot with RC1.
With RC2 the device crashes shortly after the login screen appears.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Kevin, does 4.6.2 provide a test to this issue? If not, please test successively earlier kernels to see if a newer version may be tested against.

[Kevin (kevinhaefeli)]

yes, I can test the issue with 4.6.2 and I can confirm that it still
happens.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Kevin, to keep this relevant to upstream, could you please test the latest mainline kernel (4.7-rc5) and advise to the results?

[Kevin (kevinhaefeli)]

Hi,

Im working now with 4.7.0-040700rc5-generic on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

no crashes since 4 days. Hurray!

Cheers,
Kevin

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Kevin, to clarify, how often would the kernel crash occur when using the default Ubuntu kernel?

[Kevin (kevinhaefeli)]

the kernel crash occured 3-5x in a working day (8.5 hours)

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Kevin, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from kernel 4.4 to 4.7-rc5 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed immediately by the first good one. Once this good commit has been identified, it may be reviewed for backporting. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting.

Also, the kernel release names are irrelevant for the purposes of bisecting.

After the fix commit (not kernel version) has been identified, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your help.
