Comment 1 for bug 240071

i marked this as confirmed, as i get the same problem. I noticed it appears right after i close my laptop lid, and then open it and log in and start doing some stuff, then after a minute the computer entirely locks up, and i cant even alt+sysrq+reisub .

it just spams this a bunch of times in my kernel.log, i can post the entire thing if needed:
