Sorry, I didn't realize kernel development went that fast.
I did try to go to the 5.X series, but the AMDGPU drivers don't work on
my SI card anymore (I need to bisect which takes time and many re-boots
to find the problematic commit).
I'll try the Radeon-SI driver and see if I can reproduce this reliably.

Why does no one (I've met others who share a similar sentiment), like
reiserfs? I'm not looking for fight, I'm incredulous. It's a great FS
that survives oops-es, power failures, and random crashes very very well.
It's the only FLOSS FS with tail packing.

Thanks,
David
