Bug Description

This shows up occasionally when doing downloads of moderate size. apt-get update typically triggers it, as does updating plugins on the Wordpress installation running on the VPS.

This seems to affect kernel versions from 4.15.0-47 to at least 4.15.0-55. 4.15.0-46 is unaffected.

Does it mean 4.15.0-50 not having this issue?

I don't remember exactly when it started, but I can install some old kernels this week and see if I can pinpoint it exactly.

To reproduce this, I removed the apt package lists and ran apt-get update.

It occurs on 4.15.0-47 up to 4.15.0-55, and doesn't occur on 4.15.0-46 and earlier.
