Thanks for reporting back.

The VirtualBox Changelog will probably refer to another ticket: 20180. You'll find my investigation results in 20180#comment:1 and 20180#comment:8, including links to selected Internet sources about Split Lock Detection.

Thanks for the suggesting the successful workaround. It seems I should plan on using the workaround until a resolution for the issue is included in a release, at which time I might test without.

I looked at some articles on the kernel option, and have found the subject rather esoteric. Hopefully I would not experience any side effects from changing the kernel options for my system while I wait for a full resolution.

I wouldn't expect any side effects either. Linux kernel 5.4 works perfectly until today, without detecting split-locks.
