--- Comment #14 from gpo (gernot.poerner@web.de) ---
This is on Debian Buster running 5.x kernels from backports. These are VMs (on
kvm) with 4 cores/32G Ram each. They are running as kubernetes workers.

When we set those up with Debian which in our image comes with kernel 5.9 they
constantly crashed after a while with:

This is also how I came upon this bug report.

Downgrading to the latest 5.8 (5.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
5.8.10-1~bpo10+1 (2020-09-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux) stopped the constant crashing.

The problem here is that we could not identify for sure what really causes the
crash, these nodes are running differing workloads since they are kubernetes.

I would go ahead and test a later kernel (5.10) on one of these to see if the
problem is fixed in upstream already.
