Hi Ante/Peter,

Based on your previous comment, it seems like Ubuntu kernel v4.4 doesn't
exhibit the hang but ubuntu kernel v4.8 does ?

If it's the case, then can you reproduce the problematic with the same
mainline kernel versions[1] ?

If yes, then I recommend you to shorten to amount of commits by testing
the mainline kernels between the two until you have shorten enough to
start a kernel bisection[2]

Assuming the hang doesn't collect any informations in /var/log/ nor
provide a stacktrace when it hangs.

You can also enable the crashdump mechanism[3] + enabling enabling via
sysctl various types of panic conditions[4] for the kernel to panic
immediately under these conditions.

Example :

kernel.hardlockup_panic = 1
kernel.hung_task_panic = 1
kernel.panic_on_io_nmi = 1
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
kernel.panic_on_unrecovered_nmi = 1
kernel.panic_on_warn = 1
kernel.softlockup_panic = 1
kernel.unknown_nmi_panic = 1
vm.panic_on_oom = 1

Hope it helps !
