Please provide the "dmsetup table" line for the cache device if you can.

Are you using writeback mode?

There was a writeback bug that got fixed not too long ago that impacted
users who suffered power loss (or sudden loss of storage), see:
http://git.kernel.org/linus/5b1fe7bec8a8

BUT, it does look like 4.18.11 already has that commit.

Given the "block manager: array validator check failed for block 2156"
error it could easily be that you need to run cache_check and
cache_repair.  Joe (cc'd) may have more specific repair guidance for
you (though Joe is going on vacation.. bad timing).
