Andrea, this new kernel looks promising. Linux millbarge 5.4.0-17-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 28 16:18:44 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Unfortunately I didn't check the reproducer before rebooting: the error message I get with it now suggests that it might not work any more. However, this visualization https://platform.leolabs.space/visualizations/leo sure feels like it would have the heft to reproduce the problem. It worked fine for me in both firefox and chromium-browser: sarnold 4987 14.1 3.0 3042112 495860 ? Sl 03:42 0:46 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox sarnold 5070 7.3 1.8 2651760 293108 ?

An uptime of 30 minutes is perhaps too short to declare success but this is certainly promising.

No mouse movement, no keyboard input, the screen output does not change. My computer was using swap space and despite very slow writeout speeds well below what the NVME drive can handle, the computer was unusable. I've captured some vmstat 1 output and top output that I started collecting during the event. (Normally one very long painful period is followed by several shorter periods of uselessness.)
