Yes you are right, I was referring to Ubuntu kernels 5.4.0-XX. From the
discussion in the Ubuntu bugtracker I got the impression that Ubuntu kernels
5.4.0-XX and upstream 5.4.XX are closely related, obviously they are not. The
bisection was done by the original bug reporter and also refers to the Ubuntu
kernel.

In the meantime I tested v5.4.51 upstream, which shows no problems. Sorry for
the bother.

The server is Debian with v4.19.130 upstream, filesystem ext4.

That one is actually in Ubuntus 5.4.0-40, from looking at the code.
