Could you check whether it still happens with the latest upstream
kernel, at least 5.4.y, if it wasn't tested yet?

I don't want to put a long delay just because of random reason unless
it's really mandatory.  I'm wondering whether the recent write-sync
change improves the situation, so let's check the recent code.
