See the bug lp:1927076 for recent comments/logs/findings. Shortly summarising: --- this issue can be reproduced in the following order: 1. Run the cpu-hotplug test sudo ./autotest/client/tmp/ubuntu_kernel_selftests/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/cpu-hotplug/cpu-on-off-test.sh 2. Run the reuseport_bpf_cpu test sudo ./autotest/client/tmp/ubuntu_kernel_selftests/src/linux/tools/testing/selftests/net/reuseport_bpf_cpu ---
