Confused.

https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1896410.html

It said 5.0.0-rc1+

https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg1896410/repro.repor
t

It said 4.20.0+, and it also have,

"general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN PTI"

which indicated CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y but your .config said NO.

However, it looks like a mess that KASAN does not play well with all those
SLUB_DEBUG, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC etc, because it essentially step into each
others' toes by redzoning, poisoning in allocate and free pages.
