at a glance I don't see anything suspicious in devkmsg_write().

devkmsg_write() does

	buf = kmalloc(len+1, GFP_KERNEL);
	...
	kfree(buf);

kasan reports that this kfree() is actually happening in unpack_to_rootfs(),
before we do copy_from_iter_full().

unpack_to_rootfs() does

	header_buf = kmalloc(110, GFP_KERNEL);
	symlink_buf = kmalloc(PATH_MAX + N_ALIGN(PATH_MAX) + 1, GFP_KERNEL);
	name_buf = kmalloc(N_ALIGN(PATH_MAX), GFP_KERNEL);
	...
	kfree(name_buf);
	kfree(symlink_buf);
	kfree(header_buf);

kasan reports that one of the pointers was allocated in devkmsg_write().
what am I missing?
