Yes I realized that as well when I had enough distance between me and the code...

I did and it didn't trigger. What triggers is (as expected) a WARN_ON((size_t)mxsize > count); We have count at 80 and mxsize (which ends in hp->dxfer_len) at 65499. But the 65499 bytes are the len of the data we're suppost to be copying in via the iov. I'm still rather confused what's happening here, sorry.
