I have no idea, this is just the analysis of a syzkaller report.  From 
the backtrace, it's one that ends up calling kmalloc; all of them should
have the same issue with KASAN.

The specific alignment requirement for this bug comes from this call in
usbdev_mmap:

	if (remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start,
			virt_to_phys(usbm->mem) >> PAGE_SHIFT,
			size, vma->vm_page_prot) < 0) {

It's in master, but the relevant code is the same in linux-next; in fact
in this case there is no DMA involved at all.  hcd_buffer_alloc hits
the case "some USB hosts just use PIO".

On those host controllers, it should be reproducible with just this:

diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/usb.c b/drivers/usb/core/usb.c

and CONFIG_KASAN=y or possibly just CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y.  mmap-ing /dev/usb
should warn if my analysis is correct.

If you think the above patch makes sense, I can test it and submit it formally.
