The frustrating part is that the OP actually identified the exact lines of code causing the deadlock (l2c_link.cc line 118) and verified that disabling the check fixes the ANR (Application Not Responding) crash.
Despite having 9,100+ stars and being the #1 most-viewed issue on the tracker, it has been sitting in 'Assigned' status with zero communication from the assignee (vi...@google.com) since October 2024. This single bug is blocking a whole ecosystem of apps.
