[BUG] 6.18.rc6: git checkout consistently fail with invalid index-pack

[Donald]

I started seeing weird behavior on git checkouts after 6.18.rc4

git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
linux-new
Cloning into 'linux-new'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 11158539, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (144/144), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (108/108), done.
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output.68 MiB | 36.67 MiB/s

I was cloning a new linux repo, as my existing repo was seizing when
trying to fetch and git fsck was segfaulting:

git fsck --full
Checking ref database: 100% (1/1), done.
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. [1] 9589
segmentation fault (core dumped) git fsck --full

and compile medium sized c++ tasks was also seizing indefinitely with
moderate cpu usage.

I removed all adjustment to my kernel to basically stock build/cmdline
args and the issue persisted.

Falling back to 6.17.8-arch1-1 made all issues go away.

Yours sincerely,
Donald
