I realise that openSUSE doesn't use ext4 by default, but it's still a significant issue... E.g. both my desktop and laptop have ext4 partitions.
A friend of mine contacted me to say:
« Hi Liam, please note that there is a potential regression (root ext4 fs goes read-only) in the newest openSUSE-Tumbleweed-GNOME-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20181112-Media - as it already contains Linux kernel 4.19.1.
How do I know? I was using Linux kernel 4.19.2 (on Ubuntu 18.04) on 2 laptops - and the root ex4 filesystem on both of them suddenly switched to read-only mode multiple times (never happened before upgrading to 4.19.x). Now I have rolled back to Linux 4.18.19 and will see if fs read-only switching continues.. »

He added:
« If you download the newest image from https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation (2018-11-16), it should contain kernel 4.19.1. openSUSE-Tumbleweed-GNOME-Live-x86_64-Snapshot20181118-Media.iso contains kernel 4.19.2.
So... it's official now. 😀 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=EXT4-Linux-4.19-Corrupti...
(And I can personally confirm that the issue is still present in the newest stable kernel 4.19.5.)

Hi Liam,
I just upgraded my Leap 15 to kernel 4.19.6. Do you know if the above problem still exists with 4.19.6, or how can I test for this problem?
Both my / and /home partitions are ext4, and I generally run kernels generated from kernel HEAD. I have never had this happen to me, which lends credence to the supposition that the problem is coming from outside the ext4 code, and may in fact be introduced be some backported code in another subsystem.
