Thanks a lot for guidance!

yeah, we reached back to until v5.14-rc1 which still has similar issue,
and v5.13 is clean. new bisection was triggered then we got '7118fc2906'

this was already reported as
"[linus:master] [hugetlb] 7118fc2906: kernel_BUG_at_lib/list_debug.c"
at https://lore.kernel.org/all/202301170941.49728982-oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx/
and I add you, Hyeonggon, Feng and Fengwei there.

hope that would be helpful.
