Greetings!

When KASAN is enabled the Overflow KUnit test fails:

[...]
    ok 16 shift_nonsense_test
    # overflow_allocation_test: 11 allocation overflow tests finished

This is reproducible on my machine and always happens when running the test via 'modprobe -v overflow_kunit'. Without KASAN enabled (but KFENCE) overflow_allocation_test passes.

Kernel .config and full dmesg attached.
