According to a Fedora kernel maintainer on that thread, that proposed
patch seems to work for multiple people.

I tried again to reproduce the issue; this time I was successful and my
laptop became completely unresponsive (couldn't even reboot with the
magic sysrq key, had to power off by holding the power button).
Steps:
* flatpak run org.gnome.Recipes
* New Recipe
* click the "+" below the placeholder photo
* load some random image (it might have to be one that is of a significant
size, when I couldn't reproduce it I think I was using very small test
images from libsdl2-gfx)
I don't know how reliably reproducible this is. Any Flatpak app that uses
the documents portal and does not have direct filesystem access should be
equally suitable.
My laptop is not particularly suitable for building distro kernels,
but I'll try... please don't wait for me though!
