Here you go:

addr:96ffffdfebcd4000 ptr:ffffffdfebcd70c0
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from vmalloc (offset
7566047373982445760, size 11)!

And, not sure if it'd be helpful, with the vmap:

va_start:ffffffd83db0d000 va_end:ffffffd83db13000
addr:44ffffd83db0d000 ptr:ffffffd83db100c0
usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from vmalloc (offset
13474770085092536512, size 11)!

which seems to explain why the fix worked.

+               if (offset + n > get_vm_area_size(area)) {
+                       struct vmap_area *vmap =
find_vmap_area((unsigned long)ptr);
+
+                       if (vmap)
+                               printk("va_start:%px va_end:%px\n",
vmap->va_start, vmap->va_end);
+                       printk("addr:%px ptr:%px\n", area->addr, ptr);
                        usercopy_abort("vmalloc", NULL, to_user, offset, n);
+               }
