It was not good.
starting from 6.3.1-c1 these issues were there on
both i386 and x86_64.

I need to check back on other branches and compare it
with Linux mainline and Linux next master branches.

Thanks for asking these questions.
I should have included this information in my earlier email.
I have been noticing this from day one on stable-rc 6.3.1-rc1.

As per your suggestions, I will try to reproduce on other trees and
branches and get back to you.+

FYI,
These are running in AWS cloud as qemu-i386 and qemu-x86_64.

A few old links showing the history of the problem.
