That looks pretty similar to the problem I posted
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/aElJIo9_Se6tAR1a@audible.transient.net/)
that I bisected to 862450a85b85 ("drm/nouveau/gf100-: track chan
progress with non-WFI semaphore release").  It still reverts cleanly
as of v6.16-rc5 so you might want to give that a shot.
