This is a very good peace of news.

To repeat for clarity, I made a build with Ubuntu's 
config-5.19.13-051913 and linux stable git pull from branch linux-6.0.y
and now it is running as I am trying to reproduce the bug as Thorsten 
recommended.

The bug usually isn't showing immediately, but after a couple of hours 
of running (especially with multimedia running inside Firefox).

It occurred also with FF 105.x snap on AlmaLinux with 6.0-rc7 mainline 
build, but not with 91.x esr version that runs from a rpm rather than snap.

Regards,
