_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?
