Adding Ted and Andreas...

Here's the debugfs -n "id" output for dpkg.status.5.gz (which is fine,
and probably a similar size):

provoke the checksum to be updated):

The values with "^^^^" are the checksum, which are the only values
that have changed here - the checksum is now 0x15aa1fb6 rather than
0xc31c23af.

With that changed, running e2fsck -n on the filesystem results in a
pass:

root@cex7:~# e2fsck -n /dev/nvme0n1p2
e2fsck 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
Warning: skipping journal recovery because doing a read-only filesystem check.
/dev/nvme0n1p2 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/nvme0n1p2: 121163/2097152 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 1349227/8388608 blocks

and the file now appears to be intact (being a gzip file, gzip verifies
that the contents are now as it expects.)

So, it looks like the _only_ issue is that the checksum on the inode
became invalid, which seems to suggest that it *isn't* a NVMe nor PCIe
issue.

I wonder whether the journal would contain anything useful, but I don't
know how to use debugfs to find that out - while I can dump the journal,
I'd need to know which block contains the inode, and then work out where
in the journal that block was going to be written.  If that would help,
let me know ASAP as I'll hold off rebooting the platform for a while
(which means the filesystem will remain as-is - and yes, I have the
debugfs file for e2undo to put stuff back.)  Maybe it's possible to pull
the block number out of the e2undo file?

tune2fs says:

Checksum type:            crc32c
Checksum:                 0x682f91b9

I guess this is what is used to checksum the inodes?  If so, it's using
the kernel's crc32c-generic driver (according to /proc/crypto).

Could it be a race condition, or some problem that's specific to the
ARM64 kernel that's provoking this corruption?
