The PREEMPT_AUTO changes haven't even made it into the kernel yet,
only a couple of preliminary rcu patches that aren't relevant yet.
So while there's been some scheduler changes in 6.10, they have mostly
been pretty insignificant - mostly some renaming without functional
changes, and one-liners.
Obviously even a one-liner can end up resulting in random oddities,
but could you try to bisect the issue you see to pin it down?
