Hi,
I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1] (albeit terse). Quoting
from it:
> since kernel 6.6 problems , reboot fails or me muss use double enter key .
> under xfce4 it jumps on console and hangs.
>
> restart under xfce4 fails shutdown also --- 6.5.11 it works all fine
>
> regards
>
> ps: all pcs . notebooks , nucs, workstation
Then another reporter can reproduce the regression with bisection:
> I have found a similar problem but in my case I don't think it's related to ACPI. In fact the problem is still there after adding the kernel option acpi=off. @walter59, can you test on your system by disabling ACPI too?
>
> During system shutdown, started by "shutdown -h now", the process hangs (but the system is still working) during stopping of samba service. Instead the reboot still works.

See Bugzilla for the full thread.
Anyway, I'm adding this regression to regzbot:
#regzbot introduced: a2e459555c5f9d https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218147
#regzbot title: shmem's stable directory offsets hangs samba shutdown
Thanks.
