Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for the encouragement! Stuart already helps patch the hang issue, do I still go an open a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org? 

Regards
Joseph

A system hang in response to a hardware defect like this is never the expected situation.  Worst case we should be able to work around it with a quirk.  Far better would be a generic fix that could recognize and deal with the situation even without a quirk.

But I don't know the fix yet.  I'm just responding to encourage you to keep pestering us and not give up :)  In the meantime, it might be worth opening a report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org with a description of how you trigger the problem, and attaching the complete dmesg log and "sudo lspci -vv" output.

Bjorn
