Harshit reported the hung tasks with kernel v5.15-stable, and can even reproduce
that issue with kernel v6.9-rc4 although it has all of your patches from
that referenced mail thread applied.
So, what does your statement that "it was already known that it causes problems" exactly mean?
Can it be fixed? Is someone looking into fixing it?
