Sounds like a deadlock. Does reverting 8f12a3118f55 ("vga_switcheroo:
Add missing locking") help?

If not I'd suspect this to be caused by a codepath in nouveau which is
only executed if CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO is enabled. I believe Maxwell
support is still somewhat limited. Does unloading or blacklisting
nouveau help?

Best regards,
