Bug Description

ptyo3 from pty in ubuntu_ltp_stable is failing on focal/hwe-5.8 5.8.0-49.55~20.04.1

only failing on host rumford and passes on others.

Seems to be a new test to check on Focal/linux (at least in recent times), so I would not consider this to be a regression.

Same failure on Focal/linux 5.4.0-71.79 - lowlatency, also only on host rumford

hmm interesting, I can't reproduce this manually on host rumford:
Linux rumford 5.8.0-49-generic #55~20.04.1-Ubuntu

I ran a test subset from pty:
pty01 pty01
pty02 pty02
pty03 pty03

Probably caused by some other tests executed before this test.

I tried the following:
1. fs_perms_simple + pty03
2. fsx + pty03
3. dio + pty03
4. io + pty03
5. ipc + pty03
6. sched + pty03
7. math + pty03
8. nptl + pty03

And running the whole ubuntu_ltp_stable suite, I didn't see this failure.

I checked again on the jenkins, it looks like these failure are only specific to the lowlatency kernel:
focal-linux-hwe-5.8-lowlatency-amd64-5.8.0-rumford-ubuntu_ltp_stable
focal-linux-lowlatency-amd64-5.4.0-rumford-ubuntu_ltp_stable
groovy-linux-lowlatency-amd64-5.8.0-rumford-ubuntu_ltp_stable

And this test has passed with their generic flavour counterpart.

Also note that all the tests performed above in comment #3 and #4 are for generic flavour, this may explains why I can't reproduce this error.

Trying again on lowlatency kernel now.

Yes this is specific to the lowlatency kernel on node "rumford"

Tested with H-5.11.0-37

It can pass with the generic kernel.
