The iter termination logic in iomap_iter_advance() is only needed by iomap_iter() to determine whether to proceed with the next mapping for an ongoing operation. The old logic sets ret to 1 and then terminates if the operation is complete (iter->len == 0) or the previous iteration performed no work and the mapping has not been marked stale. The stale check exists to allow operations to retry the current mapping if an inconsistency has been detected. To further genericize iomap_iter_advance(), lift the termination logic into iomap_iter() and update the former to return success (0) or an error code. iomap_iter() continues on successful advance and non-zero iter->len or otherwise terminates in the no progress (and not stale) or error cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
