If I used git correctly, then 4.14.20 already has
2a266f23550be997d783f27e704b9b40c4010292, so I tried 4.14.19. 4.14.19 on
the one virt host that had the most violent failures failed in the first
hour of operation, but with a slightly different error behavior that I
was used to. I am therefore not sure whether we are not talking about
multiple issues, one of them having been fixed somewhere in between
4.14.13 and 4.14.19.

I then applied 2a266f23550be997d783f27e704b9b40c4010292 to 4.14.19,
resulting in 4.4.19+, and this one has been running flawlessly for two
days (and 0 minutes, incidentally) now. I will stay on 4.14.19+ until
4.15.5 comes out (and will update then). If you don't hear from me again
in this bug report, then you can safely assume that 4.14.19+ lived on
the test machine until its planned decommissioning during the 4.15.5
rollout.

Hope this helps.

Greetings
Marc
