The typical KASAN report always begins with
BUG: KASAN: ....
in kernel log. That 'BUG:' prefix creates a false impression that it's an
actual BUG() codepath being executed, and as such things like
'panic_on_oops' etc. would work on it as expected; but that's obviously
not the case.
Switch the order of prefixes to make this distinction clear and avoid
confusion.
Thinking about it more in the scope of panic_on_oops above: wouldn't it
make more sense to emit "KASAN: WARNING:" instead? All that provided the
fact the code explicitly does "if (panic_on_warn) { panic(); }"?
