Hmmm, I just ran a similar loop with a number of tests in the VM for a
few hours and I didn't see this error.

In any case, this patch should still be merged, but we should try to
reproduce your setup.

What is your command line, exact QEMU version, the file system you use,
and the guest kernel you are running?

Thanks,
