The machine locked up again, but without many output:

[13093.642353] INEQUIVALENT ALIASES 0x96000 and 0xf5bba000 in file xargs
[13094.122900] INEQUIVALENT ALIASES 0x110000 and 0xf5a63000 in file find

And after reset it got trouble during boot:

  Configuration setting "allocation/zero_metadata" unknown.
[   76.490814] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 23s! [lvm:2612]

Luckily it worked on the next attempt.

Neither do I.

I assume it's some sort of backport, since 5.15.0 has been quite stable:

reboot   system boot  5.15.11-gentoo-p Sat Dec 25 00:18   still running
reboot   system boot  5.15.0-gentoo-pa Sun Dec 19 11:46 - 00:13 (5+12:27)
reboot   system boot  5.15.0-gentoo-pa Thu Nov 25 14:40 - 00:13 (29+09:33)
reboot   system boot  5.15.0-gentoo-pa Thu Nov  4 10:23 - 14:35 (21+04:11)
