Right !
root is mounted on NFS.

I have re-tested the failed tests on next-20190822 and all get pass
which is also
using same NFS server [1] [2].

Thanks for the pointers.
I will setup and run NFS cthon on next-20190822 and next-20190823.

For the record the following tests failed on linux -next-20190823 on x86_64
and i386. The filesystem is mounted on NFS and tests are using
locally mounted hard drive ( with -d /scratch ).

Juno-r2 device filesystem mounted on NFS and did not see these errors
and test getting pass on -next-20190823.

These failures are reproducible all time on next-20190823 kernel on x86_64
and i386 device with root mounted on NFS [3] [4] [5] [6].

I will git bisect to find out which is bad commit.
