Quite likely that's bug #914495[1]. #914980 and #915178 appear to be
duplicates.

Probably you should stick to that kernel for the time being. There is
4.19.5 in experimental which would likely fix your problem, but several
people have observed ext4 filesystem corruption with the 4.19 kernel[2],
I guess that's the reason why the Debian kernel team does not upload
4.19 to unstable.
