Hi,

You might try to see if you have CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT=yes in your kernel config. Starting with 4.19.1 it somehow
interferes with ext4 and causes problems similar to the ones you list below. Ever since I disabled MQ (either recompile
your kernel or add `scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=0` to the kernel command line) none of those errors came back.

hope it helps,
