A GFP was reported,

kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled

It turned out,

gparent = rb_red_parent(parent);
tmp = gparent->rb_right; <-- GFP triggered here.

Apparently, "gparent" is NULL which indicates "parent" is rbtree's root
which is red. Otherwise, it will be treated properly a few lines above.

/*
 * If there is a black parent, we are done.
 * Otherwise, take some corrective action as,
 * per 4), we don't want a red root or two
 * consecutive red nodes.
 */
if(rb_is_black(parent))
	break;

Hence, it violates the rule #1 and need a fix up.
