This has been reported a few times already -- probably the same thing
as bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83550

Sorry, no resolution as of yet. If you could verify that the commit
that got bisected to in that bug indeed causes your problem, it would
be nice to have before and after logs from a kernel compiled with
NOUVEAU_DEBUG set to 7 (spam) booted with
nouveau.debug=trace,PDISP=spam . That should hopefully help isolate
the issue. (Don't use a kernel with NOUVEAU_DEBUG set that high for
daily use -- it introduces a ton of debug code everywhere.) If the
commit that got bisected to in the bug is not the cause of your
issues, you'll need to do your own bisect.

Cheers,
