  I've unsuccessfully tried to reproduce this on an arm64 host (by
  running this test case standalone, not the full test suite), so
  possibly there's something about the autopkgtest environment. This
  also happens with the 5.4.0-18 from focal-release, so it does not
  appear to be a regression in the kernel.
