Ruifeng also noticed the same issue and speculated about mlx5 memory leaks. He raised the possibility of disabling the mlx5 driver too, but that option isn't great since we want to have a uniform build process (as much as possible) for our unit testing. Anyways, now we know that that isn't relevant. I'll forward the thread to you in any case - let me know if you have any ideas.

The mention of "memtest1" in the mails rings a bell.
I will need more detailed logs, or ideally an env where it is reproduced.


One thing bothers me.. why are we not seeing this failure with ARM for
Bruce v6 series?
Just looking at patchwork, I would think that I can merge Bruce series as is.
