b5b217346de8 ("sched/topology: Warn when NUMA diameter > 2") was added in
5.11-rc1, and I believe was marked for stable.

It doesn't come with a scheduler behaviour change, it only catches
topologies that end up being silently (unless run with SCHED_DEBUG=y)
misrepresented / misinterpreted by the scheduler.

Up until now I had only seen it fire on a single, somewhat unusual
topology. As fixing it is far from trivial, I figured adding this warning
would let us build a case for actually fixing it if we get some more
reports.

Could you paste the output of the below?

$ cat /sys/devices/system/node/node*/distance

Additionally, booting your system with CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and
appending 'sched_debug' to your cmdline should yield some extra data.
