Subject6.6/regression/bisected - after commit a349d72fd9efc87c8fd1d16d3164752d84a7275b system stopped booting
Hi,
next release cycle, and another regression.
Yesterday after another kernel update in Fedora Rawhide system stopped booting.
Today thanks to git bisect, I found out that this is a commit:

❯ git bisect bad
a349d72fd9efc87c8fd1d16d3164752d84a7275b is the first bad commit

mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s

Patch series "mm: free retracted page table by RCU", v3.

Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e. latency reduction. Initially just for the
case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs: the usefulness of
MADV_COLLAPSE on shmem is being limited by that mmap_write_lock it
currently requires.

Likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g. freeing of empty
page tables (but that's not work I'm doing). mmap_write_lock avoidance
when collapsing to anon THPs? Perhaps, but again that's not work I've
done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case.

These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in
Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them.


This patch (of 13):

Before putting them to use (several commits later), add rcu_read_lock() to
pte_offset_map(), and rcu_read_unlock() to pte_unmap(). Make this a
separate commit, since it risks exposing imbalances: prior commits have
fixed all the known imbalances, but we may find some have been missed.

It looks like the hang happens so early that when booting into a
working kernel and running "journalctl -b -1" I see in the console the
log of the previous kernel which was booted before the problematic
kernel.
Therefore, I apologize that I can't provide the kernel logs.
I can provides only photos when backtrace appears on my monitor:
Here we waiting: https://ibb.co/5xmm0BH
And then I see backtrace: https://ibb.co/TLLGFNP

Unfortunately I can't revert commit
a349d72fd9efc87c8fd1d16d3164752d84a7275b for testing more fresh builds
because of conflicts.

My hardware: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=dd5735f315
I also attached kernel build config and full bisect log.
