A refactoring is by definition a change that does not affect code
behaviour. It is obvious that this was never intended to be such a
patch.

The reason that the bug is occurring in 4.19.x, and not in the latest
kernels, is because the former is missing another bugfix (one which
actually is missing a "Fixes:" tag).

Can you therefore please check if applying commit 22876f540bdf ("NFS:
Don't call generic_error_remove_page() while holding locks") fixes the
issue.

Note that the latter patch is needed in any case in order to fix a read
deadlock (as indicated on the label).

Thanks,
  Trond
