iomap_readpage_iter() handles "uptodate blocks" and "not uptodate blocks" within a folio separately. This makes iomap_read_folio() to call into ->iomap_begin() to request for extent mapping even though it might already have an extent which is not fully processed. This happens when we either have a large folio or with bs < ps. In these cases we can have sub blocks which can be uptodate (say for e.g. due to previous writes). With iomap_read_folio_iter(), this is handled more efficiently by not calling ->iomap_begin() call until all the sub blocks with the current folio are processed. iomap_read_folio_iter() handles multiple sub blocks within a given folio but it's implementation logic is similar to how iomap_readahead_iter() handles multiple folios within a single mapped extent. Both of them iterate over a given range of folio/mapped extent and call iomap_readpage_iter() for reading.

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.
