The iomap_iter struct provides a convenient way to package up and maintain all the arguments to the various mapping and operation functions. It is operated on using the iomap_iter() function that is called in loop until the whole range has been processed. Compared to the existing iomap_apply() function this avoid an indirect call for each iteration. For now iomap_iter() calls back into the existing ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end methods, but in the future this could be further optimized to avoid indirect calls entirely. Based on an earlier patch from Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>.

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 Restructured Text 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.
