I triggered the following crash on x86_32 by simply doing a:

Where the /tmp/output-file was the output of a trace-cmd report.
Even after rebooting and not running the tracing code, simply doing the
head command still crashed.

The code decodes to

and while it would be good to see the output of
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh, I strongly suspect that the above is

                                vaddr = kmap_atomic(p);
                                memcpy(to + copied, vaddr + p_off, p_len);
                                kunmap_atomic(vaddr);

(although I wonder how/why the heck you've enabled
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y, which is what causes "memcpy()" to be done as
that "rep movsb". I thought we disabled it because it's so bad on most
cpus).

So that first "call" instruction is the kmap_atomic(), the "rep movs"
is the memcpy(), and the "call" instruction immediately after is the
kunmap_atomic().

Anyway, you can see vaddr in register state:

        EAX: fff57000

so we've kmapped that one page at fff57000, but we're accessing past
it into the next page:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fff58000

with the current source address being (ESI: fff58000) and we still
have 248 bytes to go (ECX: 000000f8) even though we've already
overflowed into the next page.

You can see the original count still (EBX: 000005a8), so it really
looks like that skb_frag_foreach_page() logic

                        skb_frag_foreach_page(f,
                                              skb_frag_off(f) + offset - start,
                                              copy, p, p_off, p_len, copied) {
                                vaddr = kmap_atomic(p);
                                memcpy(to + copied, vaddr + p_off, p_len);
                                kunmap_atomic(vaddr);
                        }

must be wrong, and doesn't handle the "each page" part properly. It
must have started in the middle of the page, and p_len (that 0x5a8)
was wrong.

IOW, it really looks like p_off + p_len had the value 0x10f8, which is
larger than one page. And looking at the code, in
skb_frag_foreach_page(), I see:

             p_off = (f_off) & (PAGE_SIZE - 1),                         \
             p_len = skb_frag_must_loop(p) ?                            \
             min_t(u32, f_len, PAGE_SIZE - p_off) : f_len,              \

where that "min_t(u32, f_len, PAGE_SIZE - p_off)" looks correct, but
then presumably skb_frag_must_loop() must be wrong.

Oh, and when I look at that, I see

    static inline bool skb_frag_must_loop(struct page *p)
    {
    #if defined(CONFIG_HIGHMEM)
            if (PageHighMem(p))
                    return true;
    #endif
            return false;
    }

and that is no longer true. With the kmap debugging, even non-highmem
pages need that "do one page at a time" code, because even non-highmem
pages get remapped by kmap().

IOW, I think the patch to fix this might be something like the attached.

I wonder whether there is other code that "knows" about kmap() only
affecting PageHighmem() pages thing that is no longer true.

Looking at some other code, skb_gro_reset_offset() looks suspiciously
like it also thinks highmem pages are special.
