Btw, should we first check if page returned by radix_tree_deref_slot is NULL?
diff --git a/mm/filemap.c b/mm/filemap.c
index 1bc12a9..c129ee5 100644
--- a/mm/filemap.c
+++ b/mm/filemap.c
@@ -1745,6 +1745,8 @@ void filemap_map_pages(struct vm_area_struct

repeat:
page = radix_tree_deref_slot(slot);
+ if (unlikely(!page))

if (radix_tree_exception(page)) {
if (radix_tree_deref_retry(page))
Best wishes,
