Man, that's a beautiful trace w/ decoding of inline functions. When
did we start doing that? Is there a specific config option for this?

So, it's the above instruction.

So, the wb != &wb->bdi->wb comparison would be the cmp at
0xffffffff818884e4 and given that it just compares the address of
&bdi->wb, bdi being NULL wouldn't trigger the fault.

cmpb $0x0,(%rax,%r13,1)
-> *(u8 *)(%rax + %r13) == 0
-> *(u8 *)((%rbx >> 3) + %r13) == 0

Where can that be from? I can't find anything matching even in the
surrounding functions.

Hmmm... The base address %r13 is 0xdffffc0000000000 which isn't a
proper canonical address and in general suspcious. Ooh, it's
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET. It looks like something is making KASAN trigger
a fault. Can we please bring in someone who's more familiar with
KASAN?

Thanks.
