Intel 8265 unstable/asymmetric ping response time (only under Linux)

Hi,

I found one pretty strange behavior for the Intel 8265/8275 wireless
(from ThinkPad X1 carbon)

If I ping *FROM* my router/desktop to the wireless laptop, the response
time is very unstable and slow, like:
------
$ ping -4 thinkpad
PING thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=143 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=166 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=188 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=211 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=29.8 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=51.7 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=72.8 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=94.6 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=117 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=10 ttl=64 time=140 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=11 ttl=64 time=163 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=12 ttl=64 time=186 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=13 ttl=64 time=207 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=14 ttl=64 time=25.1 ms
64 bytes from thinkpad.lan (172.16.0.100): icmp_seq=15 ttl=64 time=47.6 ms
-----

It looks like the response time get increase by 20ms and flipped over
around 200ms.

But when pinging *FROM* the laptop to the router/desktop, it's
completely fine:

------
$ ping openwrt
PING openwrt.lan (172.16.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.52 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=3.59 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.54 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=3.11 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=2.93 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=2.69 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=3.49 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=2.58 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=2.75 ms
64 bytes from _gateway (172.16.0.1): icmp_seq=10 ttl=64 time=2.60 ms
------

The kernel is 4.18.12-arch1-1-ARCH, so it's pretty new.
The BIOS of the ThinkPad is already updated with fwpud.

BTW, if I boot that thinkpad with Windows, no matter I ping from/to that
laptop, response time is always around 2~3ms.

So is this something wrong with the wireless card or something wrong
with the firmware/powersaving setting of ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th gen?

Thanks
