I did some more testing with upstream kernel. The upstream kernel similarly has the occasional freeze where the entire desktop stops responding or updating (while the hardware mouse cursor is usually still movable but clicking doesn't do anything), however unlike the Ubuntu 17.04 kernel it always recovers immediately after 1-3 seconds and responds again. Ubuntu's kernel just gets stuck for me forever - one time I waited over a minute to see if something would wake up again, but the image just remained frozen forever and that's it.

I am filing this as a kernel bug because the following steps will still hang the system: 1. Open up gnome-terminal 2. Start copying a really large file between two different EXT4 partitions on my local SSD with a "cp" command 3. Switch to a TTY 4. Login to TTY and observe htop or iotop Expected result: I can see the operation happen and after a while it completes Actual result: Keyboard drops out some time during operation (TTY stops responding, caps lock light no longer responds to pressing caps lock, computer appears effectively dead with last screen image frozen) When I run the "cp" operation on the TTY to start with, no matter if the X session is running in parallel or not, it works as expected with no trouble.
