ext4/305 sleeps 3 minutes and does mount/umount loop in background, which produces lots of logs in dmesg and 3 minutes is not necessary.
Ted pointed out that 30 mount/umount cycles is enough to crash a buggy kernel, so just limit the mount/umount loop to reduce the runtime. And now the runtime is about 2s.
