Huh. From iov_iter.c:

static int copyout(void __user *to, const void *from, size_t n)
{
size_t before = n;
if (should_fail_usercopy())
return n;
if (access_ok(to, n)) {
instrument_copy_to_user(to, from, n);
n = raw_copy_to_user(to, from, n);
if (n == before)
pr_err("SARU n still %zu pointer is %lx\n", n, (unsigned long)to);
}
return n;
}

I added the pr_err() there to catch the failure:
[ 3.443506] SARU n still 64 pointer is b78db000

Also I managed to extract the failing portion of iperf3 into something
smaller:

int temp;
char *x;
ssize_t l;
FILE *f;
char template[] = "/blah-XXXXXX";

temp = mkstemp(template);
if (temp < 0)
panic("mkstemp");
if (unlink(template) < 0)
panic("unlink");
if (ftruncate(temp, 0x20000) < 0)
panic("ftruncate");
x = mmap(NULL, 0x20000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, temp, 0);
if (x == MAP_FAILED)
panic("mmap");
f = fopen("/dev/urandom", "rb");
if (!f)
panic("fopen");
setbuf(f, NULL);
if (fread(x, 1, 0x20000, f) != 0x20000)
panic("fread");
