Sorry for top-posting and quoting this all, but the actual people involved with the wchan changes don't seem to be on the participant list.
Adding more folks from a private report and https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215031
and for the new people, here's a lore link for this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/YZV02RCRVHIa144u@fedora64.linuxtx.org/
FWIW, earlier bisection pointed to the stable backport of 5d1ceb3969b6b2e47e2df6d17790a7c5a20fcbb4 being the primary culprit. At first glance it seems to me that the problem with -stable is that an unvetted subset of the wchan refactoring series landed in -stable.
What would be the vetted subset? :)
Anyway, I have now dropped the following patches that were in the 5.15.3-rc tree: bc9bbb81730e ("x86: Fix get_wchan() to support the ORC unwinder") 42a20f86dc19 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked") 5d1ceb3969b6 ("x86: Fix __get_wchan() for !STACKTRACE")
And will push out another -rc release to let people test.
If there are any other commits I should have also dropped, please let me know.
thanks,
