Note: I originally reported this downstream for tracking at:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202203

5.19 behaves pretty weird in openSUSE's openQA (opposing to 5.18, or 
5.18.15). It's all qemu-kvm "HW"¹⁾:

Those are various failures -- crashes of ldconfig, Xorg; I/O failures on 
zram; the last one is a lockup likely, something invoked sysrq after 
500s stall.

Interestingly, I've also hit this twice locally:

KASAN is not helpful either, so it's unlikely a memory corruption 
(unless it is "HW" related; should I try to turn on IOMMU in qemu?):

They all occur to me like a zram failure. The installer apparently 
creates an ext2 FS and after it mounts it using ext4 module, the issue 
starts occurring.

Any tests I/you could run on 5.19 to exercise zram and ext2? Otherwise I 
am unable to reproduce easily, except using the openSUSE installer :/.

Any other ideas? Or is this known already?

¹⁾ main are uefi boot and virtio-blk (it likely happens with virtio-scsi 
too). The cmdline _I_ use: qemu-kvm -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex 
-drive file=/tmp/pokus.qcow2,if=none,id=hd -device 
virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd -drive 
if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-opensuse-code.bin 
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=/tmp/vars.bin -cdrom 
/tmp/cd1.iso  -m 1G -smp 1 -net user -net nic,model=virtio -serial pty 
-device virtio-rng-pci -device qemu-xhci,p2=4,p3=4 -usbdevice tablet
