This patch is buggy, but not in a significant way:

So either this:

-	radix_tree_replace_slot(&mapping->i_pages, pslot, newpage);
+	if (PageTransHuge(page)) {
+		int i;
+		int index = page_index(page);
+
+		for (i = 0; i < HPAGE_PMD_NR; i++) {
+			pslot = radix_tree_lookup_slot(&mapping->i_pages,
+						       index + i);
+			radix_tree_replace_slot(&mapping->i_pages, pslot,
+						newpage + i);
+		}
+	} else {
+		radix_tree_replace_slot(&mapping->i_pages, pslot, newpage);
+	}

Or this:

 	radix_tree_replace_slot(&mapping->i_pages, pslot, newpage);
+	if (PageTransHuge(page)) {
+		int i;
+		int index = page_index(page);
+
+		for (i = 1; i < HPAGE_PMD_NR; i++) {
+			pslot = radix_tree_lookup_slot(&mapping->i_pages,
+						       index + i);
+			radix_tree_replace_slot(&mapping->i_pages, pslot,
+						newpage + i);
+		}
+	}

The second one is shorter and involves fewer lookups ...
