Thanks for reporting, I will try to reproduce the issue. Does the 'parent'
mean the same code branch without this commit?


it just means the parent in git log.

xsang@inn:/c/repo/linux$ git log --oneline --graph 2227a957e1
* 2227a957e1d5b sched/eevdf: Sort the rbtree by virtual deadline
* 84db47ca7146d sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan <-- parent

Thanks for clarifying, Oliver. And can you please check the parent's
dmesg for the log:

pr_err("EEVDF scheduling fail, picking leftmost\n");

which potentially turns a kernel panic to a message.
