This line apparently triggers a KASAN warning since I rebooted on
4.19-rc1

This is 100% reproductible on my machine when the kdump service starts
(fedora28 x86_64 VM), here's the full stack (on 4.19-rc1):

where

symbolizes to
[<        none        >] read_kcore+0xd5c/0xf20 fs/proc/kcore.c:454
, the above check.


I haven't checked but I think I am in the first case below:
                if (&m->list == &kclist_head) {
meaning no address matched in the list, so you cannot check m->addr and
m->size in this case -- I'm afraid you will have to run through the list
just in case if that happens even if there likely won't be any match for
the next address either.
