I'm not an expert bug your backtrace looks weird. Please run memtest86 or
memtest86+ for an hour or two.

https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/releases

I'm also removing the bisected ID because it doesn't look like it has anything
to do with this issue.

You don't just copy random stuff from other bug reports which look similar to
yours. You actually bisect and provide the full bisect history.

Ubuntu 22.10 comes with kernel Kernel 5.19.

Ubuntu 23.10 comes with kernel Kernel 6.5.

That's a very large regression window. And then you can only bisect on vanilla
kernels, not Ubuntu ones. First compile and make sure 5.19 absolutely works for
you. Then try consecutive kernels one by one. If you hit the issue, then you
will have just two kernel releases to work with, instead of trying to find the
regressions between two very distant kernels.

Best of luck.
