Thanks, I do manually test and now almost 1/20 times fail.
And the worth mentioning that this is not a new failure in RHEL kernels.
Those patches since the barrier have already much improved the test
result from RHEL side. At least from RHEL RT-kernel I didn't observe
fail any more.

So ,as long as the patch works on the SUSE kernel to resolve it's NEW
problem,
I think we can merge.
