this issue has already been reported here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=911443
The proper fix has been applied to linux-next:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?h=next-20181206&id=e25b6783c7b1bb79103d4617336879423f86b05e
The fix should be applied to 4.19 and 4.20 soon.

Stefan
