Could you please provide the disassembly of that function?

I'm thinking it's not the slot pointer itself that's bad, because
__radix_tree_lookup() dereferences that to test if it's populated
before returning it, and slot life-time is guaranteed by RCU.

That would only leave garbage in the slot itself, crashing during
page_cache_get_speculative().

I'll keep staring at this change, but nothing stands out to me yet.

Thanks,
Johannes
