Title:
  TB16 dock freezes X on hotplug when used with external displays

Status in Dell Sputnik:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Precision 5520 with Quadro GPU. Latest Ubuntu 16.04, kernel Linux
  REDACTED 4.13.0-36-generic #40~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 16 23:25:58
  UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, latest BIOS 1.7.0 released
  12/15/2017. If it can be of any help, I can get this tested on an XPS
  9560 (GTX 1050) too.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Plug in monitors into DP and miniDP on the dock. In my case, DP-to-DVI 
cables are used, but I doubt that it matters.
  2. Ubuntu 16.04 GNOME + nVidia drivers with PRIME.
  3. Select nVidia GPU in PRIME settings, reboot if needed.
  4. Either boot with the dock connected or connect it after booting into user 
session.
  5. Set up monitors if necessary. At this point everything should be working 
fine.
  6. Disconnect the dock, give it a moment to adjust to the new window layout 
etc.
  7. Re-connect the dock. Within a few seconds laptop screen should freeze and 
external monitors should remain blank, as if not connected.
  8. Disconnect the dock. Within a few seconds laptop screen should unfreeze. 
There is a small chance that it won't if you repeat this procedure multiple 
times.

  Errors in dmesg indicate that i915 driver is somehow involved:

  [  328.966128] [drm:intel_dp_set_idle_link_train [i915]] *ERROR* Timed out 
waiting for DP idle patterns
  [  328.967848] [drm:intel_wait_ddi_buf_idle [i915]] *ERROR* Timeout waiting 
for DDI BUF B idle bit
  [  329.048839] [drm:intel_dp_set_idle_link_train [i915]] *ERROR* Timed out 
waiting for DP idle patterns
  [  329.050547] [drm:intel_wait_ddi_buf_idle [i915]] *ERROR* Timeout waiting 
for DDI BUF C idle bit

  The kernel logs are flooded with these between steps 7 and 8 above.

  This behaviour does not occur when Intel GPU is selected in PRIME
  settings or when nouveau is used. However, nouveau performance leaves
  a lot to be desired, particularly with 3D acceleration in Windows 10
  VMs.

  I have tried nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in boot options, but it doesn't make
  any difference.
