I see this problem on 4.19.1, 4.19.2 & 4.19.5 (4.19.3 & 4.19.4 - skipped).

kernel always report:
ext4_iget:4851: inode #XXXXXXX: comm updatedb.mlocat: checksum invalid

/dev/sde2 mounted as ext4 with relatime,errors=remount-ro options.

last one (from 4.19.5):
[ 355.926146] EXT4-fs error (device sde2): ext4_iget:4851: inode #63184919: comm updatedb.mlocat: checksum invalid

After repair /home/lynxchaus/openwrt/lede/build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/linux-ramips_mt7621/linux-4.15/drivers/gpu deleted,
all files in it - connected to lost+found.

Corrupted inodes - always directory, not touched at least year or more for writing. Something wrong when updating atime?
