Huh. From iov_iter.c:

static int copyout(void __user *to, const void *from, size_t n)
{
        size_t before = n;
        if (should_fail_usercopy())
                return n;
        if (access_ok(to, n)) {
                instrument_copy_to_user(to, from, n);
                n = raw_copy_to_user(to, from, n);
                if (n == before)
                        pr_err("SARU n still %zu pointer is %lx\n", n, (unsigned long)to);
        }
        return n;
}

I added the pr_err() there to catch the failure:
[    3.443506] SARU n still 64 pointer is b78db000

Also I managed to extract the failing portion of iperf3 into something
smaller:

        int temp;
        char *x;
        ssize_t l;
        FILE *f;
        char template[] = "/blah-XXXXXX";

        temp = mkstemp(template);
        if (temp < 0)
                panic("mkstemp");
        if (unlink(template) < 0)
                panic("unlink");
        if (ftruncate(temp, 0x20000) < 0)
                panic("ftruncate");
        x = mmap(NULL, 0x20000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, temp, 0);
        if (x == MAP_FAILED)
                panic("mmap");
        f = fopen("/dev/urandom", "rb");
        if (!f)
                panic("fopen");
        setbuf(f, NULL);
        if (fread(x, 1, 0x20000, f) != 0x20000)
                panic("fread");
