Hello Pratik,

the patch is Inappropriate, but it is not oe-specific; the issue can
happen on any loaded host. The actual reason for Inappropriate status
is: it does not address the issue in the test, but simply disables it
altogether, which is not an appropriate fix to suggest to upstream.

Can you please open a ticket upstream, and include the link in the
patch, like below?

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [upstream ticket: <link>]
