FWIW, my XPS 13 2-in-1 (i7-1065G7) running EXT4 on my NVMe drive running Linus' master tip as of today (and over the last few days) has been working perfectly, but I'll run a backup right now, just-in-case.

The last time i saw this kind of errors, memtest86+ gave some clarification. Were those tests run on different machines?
