Hi Andrey, Alexander, and Dmitry, It was reported to me that when percpu is ran with param percpu_alloc=page or the embed allocation scheme fails and falls back to page that a double fault occurs. I don't know much about how kasan works, but a difference between the two is that we manually reserve vm area via vm_area_register_early(). I guessed it had something to do with the stack canary or the irq_stack, and manually mapped the shadow vm area with kasan_add_zero_shadow(), but that didn't seem to do the trick. RIP resolves to the fixed_percpu_data declaration.
