[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

This issue can be found on 4.15.0-96-generic X-hwe P8 node modoc as well.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

I can reproduce this with 4.15.0-76-generic, 4.15.0-88-generic X-hwe on P8 node modoc as well.

It's weird because according to the test history, this issue does not exist back in times.

Attachment is the test old test history for 4.15.0-88-generic X-hwe modoc, the reuseport_bpf_cpu passed there.

Can be found on B-5.3 Power8 (modoc) as well.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Can be found on B-4.15 Power8 as well

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Can be found on 5.4 Focal P8 "modoc" as well
