Description
# In the environment of centos7.6
I used the BCC tool to check the delay of do_fsync, but I found a lot of outliers, it felt like the program overflowed.

We are using pg_test_fsync to simulate system stress
Then I saw this weird error
We thought it was a problem with funcslower.py
Just replaced it with funclantency.py
But the problem remains

Does anyone know if this is a bug in the program?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported outliers with funcslower.py and funclatency.py on CentOS 7.6 while running pg_test_fsync, using the two attached screenshots as the observed behavior. No source file or test is named; done means determining whether the measurements reflect a program bug and documenting a reproducible result or diagnosis.
