I tested next-20240108 and so no issues.

Lemme upgrade.

Note you also need /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules removed if
you have it.

I have this:
ubuntu@jgarry-ubuntu-bm5-instance-20230215-1843:~/mnt/linux2$ more /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules
# stub for immediately telling the kernel that userspace firmware loading
# failed; necessary to avoid long timeouts with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", ATTR{loading}="-1"

So I can remove it.

I don't see any hung tasks on next-20240226. Perhaps its with your
config that it is triggered.
OK, I'll check again when I get a chance, but I am not so keen on checking linux-next in general.

Cheers,
John
