Bug Description
We found this issue on RPi4 8GB, Arm FVP, and some other ARM platforms. I tried 21.09.00 (the latest), 21.07.00 (the same base as ACS 3.0 FWTS), and 21.06.00 (the first version) live images and got the same result on RPi4 8GB with FW 1.31 and FW 1.19.
Two Notes here:
1. ACS 3.0 FWTS (21.07.00) doesn't have this issue, so this issue looks like related to the Linux kernel.
2. somehow this issue can't be reproduced on RPi4 4GB, so this may be only reproducible on the system that has more than 4 GB of memory.
