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?
