Public bug reported:
I noticed performance issues on the server running some backend
applications after updating OS packages with Ubuntu Jammy. After further
investigation, the slowness was caused by disk IO.
After the update, running on kernel 5.15.0-112, the disk writes take
about twice as long. I can reproduce this by changing the GRUB
configuration to boot into kernel 5.15.0-107, where the writes are
consistently slower. See below.

These times are with NVMe drives on ext4 filesystem. I observe the same
performance difference for ZFS filesystem, and also with HDDs (spinning
drives). The disk performance is also worse for 6.5.0-41 kernel. I also
tried 6.5.0-35 and linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04 - same problem - writes
are slow.
