Ugh...  Your tool is, by the look of it, some kind of fuzzer.
If that is correct, you really need to do a lot of things
for it to be useful.

"Something done by my userland code has ended up with this spew into
kernel log" _may_ be of use in some cases, but examples you've posted
are not of that sort.

The things missing:
	* what _was_ done by the userland to trigger that?
	* how reproducible it is?
	* which commit (if any) has introduced that behaviour?
Might or might not be available, but "bump the version number to
6.13-rc2" is very unlikely to be it.
	* can the reproducer (if available) be trimmed down?

You really would be better off if you described what that tool is
trying to do and what are your plans for it - missing parts, etc.

As it is, you are dumping a stream of low-quality output on people
who are not in position to do anything useful with it.  In effect,
you are training everyone to ignore anything you post, which is
probably not the desired result.
