Comment 19 for bug 1729736

I am trying to use 'nouveau' with GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile].

With Linux Kernel 4.13.0-16 from Ubuntu 17.10 Artful, 'lspci' systematically makes immediately 1 CPU freeze.

Therefore, I am testing Linux kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline

With Linux kernel 4.14.0-rc7, this issue does NOT show up :

$ lspci -nn -v -s 1:0

With Linux kernel 4.14.0-rc8, 'lspci' systematically makes immediately the whole computer freeze.

With Linux kernel 4.14.0 (released yesterday), 'lspci' systematically fails to answer, and makes the whole computer freeze after some time.

So, there is probably a regression.
