Ok, so I have bisected the issue to:

for RCU Tasks boot-time testing

This is the complete bisect log:

rcu-tasks: Be more patient for RCU Tasks boot-time testing

I don't really understand the relationship with my broken network
issue. I am using debian buster and the effect I see is that when the
network interface becomes up it hangs waiting for a "task running to
raise network interfaces". After about one minute the system boots,
the login prompt is shown but I cannot configure at all network
interfaces: dhclient does not respond and manually ifconfig does not
help also:

root@...bee:~# dhclient ethblack

I have tried to revert the bad commit directly in v6.0-rc1 but
conflicts appeared with the git revert command in
'kernel/rcu/tasks.h', so I am not sure what I can do now.

Thanks,
