Hmm, very interesting!
Please try this patch, it must fix the problem and print some numbers to debug.


I think the bug is in radix_tree_for_each_contig().

radix_tree_next_slot() returns NULL if the slot was NULL (i.e. there is
hole). But, slot == NULL is not meaning to stop iterate here. Actually,
if slot is NULL, it gets next chunk.

Bang.

Yeah, you are right, I already found this too.
Currently I think how to fix this more accurately...

radix-tree: fix contiguous iterator

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes bug in macro radix_tree_for_each_contig().
If radix_tree_next_slot() sees NULL in next slot it returns NULL, but following
radix_tree_next_chunk() switches iterating into next chunk. As result iterating
becomes non-contiguous and breaks vfs "splice" and all its users.
