Tried to recreate the issue but no success so far. I used you config
file, clang-14 and a Xeon CPU E5-2690 v2 (2 sockets 40 CPUs) with 20
two-level cgoupv1 taskgroups '/X/Y' with 'hackbench (10 groups, 40 fds)
+ idling' running in all '/X/Y/'.

What userspace are you running?

There seemed to be some pressure on your machine when it happened?

Maybe you could split the SCHED_WARN_ON so we know which signal causes this?
