system log from crash
Description of problem:
This seems kind of weird, but I can reliably trigger a hang of the GUI on my
system by running geeqie and right-clicking on the file list. The context menu
comes up, but the mouse and keyboard immediately become nonresponsive. I can
ssh in and reboot, though.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.11-2.fc22.x86_64
How reproducible:
Seems to be always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run geeqie in a directory with a number of jpg files
2. right click on one of those files in the list
3. boom
Actual results:
mouse and keyboard freeze
Expected results:
not that.
Additional info:
system log is full of lines like:

PBDMA0: ACQUIRE
And by "full", I mean about 7.6 million lines of that in a few minutes -- so
much that it seems to have wiped out previous log information by sheer volume,
triggering systemd's log rotation.
This didn't happen with Fedora 21. I'm running under GNOME Shell -- I have not
tried other environments.
A bug filed in Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215329 has
additional logs from another tester who was able to reproduce.
