commit ff042f4a9b050 ("mm: lru_cache_disable: replace work queue synchronization with synchronize_rcu") replaced lru_cache_disable's usage of work queues with synchronize_rcu.
Some users reported large performance regressions due to this commit, for example: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220521234616.GO1790663@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Ge...
Switching to synchronize_rcu_expedited fixes the problem.
