Fedora 44 kernel 6.19.14-300.fc44 makes HP Pavilion x360 extremely slow, many kworker processes stuck in D state

Hi,

After upgrading to Fedora 44 kernel 6.19.14-300.fc44.x86_64, my laptop becomes extremely slow shortly after boot.

When checking processes, I see many kernel worker threads stuck in D state, especially with names/wchan like:

kworker/*+kec_query

The kernel log also shows several ACPI/WMI-related errors, including:

ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND

ACPI BIOS Error: Attempt to CreateField of length zero

ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.WMID.* due to previous error

hp_wmi: query 0x4c returned error 0x6

hp_bioscfg: Returned error 0x3004, "Generic/Other error"

There are also repeated USB messages:

usb usb2-port4: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

I do have USB devices connected, but this exact setup worked fine before this kernel update, so I suspect this may be a regression in

6.19.14-300.fc44 related to ACPI/EC or HP WMI.

For now, I set the previous Fedora 44 kernel as the default boot option:

6.19.13-300.fc44.x86_64

Has anyone else seen this issue on HP laptops or with kworker processes stuck in kec_query after this kernel update?
