_Address_ of hp->dxferp comes from that assignment; the value is 'buf'
argument of sg_write() + small offset.  In this case, it should point
inside a pipe buffer, which is, indeed, at a kernel address.  Who'd
allocated srp is irrelevant.

And if you end up dereferencing more than one page worth there, you do have
a problem - pipe buffers are not going to be that large.  Could you slap
	WARN_ON((size_t)input_size > count);
right after the calculation of input_size in sg_write() and see if it triggers
on your reproducer?
