I bisected it to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260511120627.944705718@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
("[PATCH v2 08/10] sched/fair: Add newidle balance to pick_task_fair()")
Adding the patch proposed in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260603095108.GA1684319@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
fixes the issue for me.
To reproduce, running the strace test suite seems enough. If required, I
can try to figure out the exact test that crashes the kernel.
