We added this line before GPF crashes: kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access But I agree that it's not very useful, it's printed unconditionally. I asked +Andrey if we can obtain and print the fault address, but as far as I remember he said that it's very hard. If we had the fault address, we could revert KASAN shadow calculation and say something along the lines of: kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access (original access would have been to 0xdead000000000100). We could also do KASAN checks after the original access, but that would lead to another kind of badness. KASAN stores metadata right around and inside of heap objects, so use-after-free and out-of-bounds access have high chances of corrupting that data. Then KASAN will either print nonsense or crash itself... > But the reproducer does nothing for me.
