As noted in the CentOS bug report you referenced (
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15570 ), I filed a report upstream
( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658669, marked
private). In that RHBZ, they were able to reproduce it without
VirtualBox. Therefore they are aware this is not just a VBox problem.
The fix has been added to kernel-3.10.0-984.el7, meaning it will be in
the EL 7.7 kernel.
Now there is a separate RHBZ for "Z-Stream" for the same issue. This
means that the fix will be ported to the current series (EL 7.6).
Unfortunately I have no access to this BZ, so cannot tell the progress
there. Once it is fixed in RHEL, CentOS will inherit it.
