Took me a while to find the FAIL-ed test:

So this is seq number related
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/logging/kmsg/kmsg01.c#L383

LTP writes a gazillion (roughly, maybe a bit less than that)
filler messages to /dev/kmsg in order to cause logbuf overlap:
...
19490 [  172.301584] LTP kmsg01 FILLER MESSAGE TO OVERWRITE OTHERS
19491 [  172.308730] LTP kmsg01 FILLER MESSAGE TO OVERWRITE OTHERS
19492 [  172.313852] LTP kmsg01 FILLER MESSAGE TO OVERWRITE OTHERS
19493 [  172.320988] LTP kmsg01 FILLER MESSAGE TO OVERWRITE OTHERS
19494 [  172.325618] LTP kmsg01 FILLER MESSAGE TO OVERWRITE OTHERS
