This is indeed the same bug. I applied this patch on top of kernel 
6.1.14 and the hang doesn't occur anymore, neither in Gentoo or in 
SystemRescue. I see this patch has been merged in mainline and marked 
for stable. However, it is not included in the current review for 
6.1.15. I hope it will make it to stable kernels soon.

Thanks for your help,
