I indeed have lots of ram but I've disabled all write access for a few
hours to check if this issue is write related. These latency spikes did
also happen when there were no writes at all.

I haven't changed these values. They were at
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10
vm.dirty_ratio = 20

I've changed it to
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 2
vm.dirty_ratio = 10
