not sure if this is a real issue and if it`s UML or loop related -
but how is low-memory situations being handled when
creating loop devices ?

kernel returns -ENOMEM as an error code if there are no memory left to
initialize loop device.


should losetup or dmesg tell "out of memory" if there is not
enough memory left ?

It should, as kernel does pass that info back to app.  Does losetup
check return value of open() syscall?
