For what it is worth, I have a kernel issue that appears after upgrading from 4.15.0-88 to 4.15.0-91 and it still is present in 4.15.0-96. For my system the kernel does not panic, however it eventually starts erroring and then mounts /tmp as ro. If I reboot in maintenance mode fsck the disk, fix errors and reboot, system will repeat. However, booting back to 4.15.0-88 and system will come back up and remain stable. Once booting with kernal 4.15.0-91 or 4.15.0-96, syslog shows

It always crashes during boot with a kernel panic. I suspect that this crash might be related to Bcache because this is the only one of our systems where we use Bcache and the kernel panic appears right after Bcache initialization. I already checked that this bug still exists in the 4.15.0-92.93 kernel from proposed. Unfortunately, I cannot do a bisect because this is a critical production system and we do not have any other system with a similar configuration. I attached a screenshot with the trace of the kernel panic. The last message that appears before the kernel panic (or rather the last one that I can see - there is a rather long pause between that message and the panic and I cannot scroll up far enough to ensure that there are no other messages in between) is: bcache: register_bcache() error /dev/dm-0: device already registered When booting with kernel 4.15.0-88 that does not have this problem, the next message is bcache: register_bcache() error /dev/dm-12: device already registered (emitting change event) After that the next message is: Begin: Loading essential drivers ... done This message also appears after the kernel panic, but the boot process stalls and the system can only be recovered by doing a hardware reset.
