Sometimes the G4 is able to reboot, most of the time it just freezes:

+Nico, who also encountered this issue.

Mailed a patch that should fix this:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240517130118.759301-1-andrey.konovalov@xxxxxxxxx/T/#u

You can consider disabling CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE for now as a workaround.

Thank you!
