Should I go back to v4.19 to see if it happens there, too? linux-next includes very much the same code as drm-tip. There's nobody magically reviewing the code more than it is reviewed for inclusion into drm-tip, when it is fed into linux-next. So thinking linux-next would be some way safer is an illusion. It sounds like having memory pressure expedites the corruption, which should make it easier to reproduce and thus fix. So if you could please try drm-tip reproducing AND open a bug in Bugzilla. If you are unwilling to do that, it is very difficult to help you more.
