Public bug reported: Discovered when testing EVDI-backed screen (https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi). While adding new device /dev/dri/cardX xorg locks, it can be observed by the cursors that stop blinking or menus not responding. Sometimes it is just a short (1-2 sec.) pause, but sometimes (hard to state the exact reproduction rate, rather rarely) the screen stops completely. Interestingly enough, if using HW cursor, it moves fine. Keyboard is at least partially functional, as it's possible to "bail out" to tty with C-A-Fx and kill the session. Anything else is difficult to check, as nothing really happens on the screen, it just remains frozen.
When adding 4 GPUs at once (e.g. via config in /etc/modprobe.d according to https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1843660-screen-freezes-after-opening-an-application-only). Haven't checked other numbers yet, to be done soon. The problem occurs, when adding the devices, not enabling their associated screens/reading EDID or anything like that. Also, to be checked with UDL, similar behaviour is expected, but due to the fact that it adds only a single device at a time reproducing "complete" freeze might be difficult.
