Merge tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- More fallout and preparatory work associated with the folio batch
prototype posted a while back.
Mainly this just cleans up some of the helpers and pushes some
pos/len trimming further down in the write begin path.
- Add missing flag descriptions to the iomap documentation
* tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
iomap: rework iomap_write_begin() to return folio offset and length
iomap: push non-large folio check into get folio path
iomap: helper to trim pos/bytes to within folio
iomap: drop pos param from __iomap_[get|put]_folio()
iomap: drop unnecessary pos param from iomap_write_[begin|end]
iomap: resample iter->pos after iomap_write_begin() calls
iomap: trace: Add missing flags to [IOMAP_|IOMAP_F_]FLAGS_STRINGS
Documentation: iomap: Add missing flags description
