Not apparent at all in the logs and probably the cause of some issues reported in bug 13802.

When mounting on of the loopback devices, the kernel oopses:

Alex is going to add more info but it seems like a kernel bug.
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2021-06-03 14:58:45 UTC 
I'm unfortunately not going to be looking into this any time soon, so putting me in as the assignee, will mean it sits just as long.

From RP:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = ' ltp'
TEST_SUITES = 'ping ssh ltp'
then bitbake core-image-sato; bitbake core-image-sato -c testimage 

Look for BUG: in log in core-image-sato WORKDIR/testimage/qemu*
