Exactly my point. We know that (4.19 ext4 and kernel is broken), (4.18 ext4 and
kernel is working), and (4.18 ext4 and 4.19 kernel is working).

If (4.19 ext4 and 4.18 kernel) is broken, then _most likely_ the bug is caused
by something that changed in v4.18..v4.19. If (4.19 ext4 and 4.18 kernel)
*works*, then either the bug is in something else that changed, or there is an
interaction between two changes that happened in v4.18..v4.19.

In any case, bisecting v4.18..v4.19 will probably give us a clue.
