This analysis doesn't make sense to me.  In find_get_pages_tag(), when we call
radix_tree_iter_retry(), this sets the local 'slot' variable to NULL, then
does a 'continue'.  This will hop to the next iteration of the
radix_tree_for_each_tagged() loop, which will very check the exit condition of
the for() loop:

#define radix_tree_for_each_tagged(slot, root, iter, start, tag)	\
	for (slot = radix_tree_iter_init(iter, start) ;			\
	     slot || (slot = radix_tree_next_chunk(root, iter,		\
			      RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED | tag)) ;		\
	     slot = radix_tree_next_slot(slot, iter,			\
				RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED))

So, we'll run the 
	     slot || (slot = radix_tree_next_chunk(root, iter,		\
			      RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED | tag)) ;		\

bit first.  'slot' is NULL, so we'll set it via radix_tree_next_chunk().  At
this point radix_tree_next_slot() hasn't been called.

radix_tree_next_chunk() will set up the iter->index, iter->next_index and
iter->tags before it returns.  The next iteration of the loop in
find_get_pages_tag() will use the non-NULL slot provided by
radix_tree_next_chunk(), and only after that iteration will we call
radix_tree_next_slot() again.  By then iter->tags should be up to date.

Do you have a test setup that reliably fails without this code but passes when
you zero out iter->tags?

I've been looking at this as well, but haven't been able to get a reliable
reproducer in my test setup.
