Hello,

Going to be turning these options off for now (zswap+zram) under 5.2 and
hopefully this makes the machine stable again-but just wanted to point out
under 5.1.xx never had any issues but with 5.2 the kernel crashes fairly
quickly when performing heavy I/O with these options enabled: (note:
compressed ram is still marked as experimental in the kernel as of 5.2)

Append line used:
append="3w-sas.use_msi=1 nohugeiomap page_poison=1 pcie_aspm=off pti=on
rootfstype=ext4 slub_debug=P zram.enabled=1 zram.num_devices=12
zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=lz4 zswap.zpool=z3fold"

As it kills the machine, I could only take screenshots of the crashes:
