Describe the bug

I’ve been running into occasional visible “stutters” on my Ubuntu Linux 22.04 system. By stutter, I mean that for ~500ms there is no visible change to the screen. If there is a video playing, it freezes. If I am moving the mouse, the cursor will freeze.

At the same time, I get a ton of kernel messages such as:
