So this doesn't make any sense to me. This is triggering here:

w = rol32(*bytes++, input_rotate);

.... but input_rotate should never be >= 32, since it is set this way:

input_rotate = (input_rotate + (i ? 7 : 14)) & 31;

Just to be sure I've tried adding a:

WARN_ON(input_rotate >= 32);

before the rol32 line, and it's not triggering for me after booting
under kvm using an i386 kernel.

Is this something you can reliably reproduce? Can you try putting a
WARN_ON before the rol32() on a kernel w/o usbsan, just to make sure
this isn't some kind of false positive? And then can you tell me
something more about the .config you are using to build your test kernel?

Thanks,
