The current iomap_iter iteration model reads the mapping from the filesystem, processes the subrange of the operation associated with the current mapping, and returns the number of bytes processed back to the iteration code. The latter advances the position and remaining length of the iter in preparation for the next iteration. At the _iter() handler level, this tends to produce a processing loop where the local code pulls the current position and remaining length out of the iter, iterates it locally based on file offset, and then breaks out when the associated range has been fully processed. This works well enough for current handlers, but upcoming enhancements require a bit more flexibility in certain situations. Enhancements for zero range will lead to a situation where the processing loop is no longer a pure ascending offset walk, but rather dictated by pagecache state and folio lookup. Since folio lookup and write preparation occur at different levels, it is more difficult to manage position and length outside of the iter. To provide more flexibility to certain iomap operations, introduce support for incremental iomap_iter advances from within the operation itself. This allows more granular advances for operations that might not use the typical file offset based walk. Note that the semantics for operations that use incremental advances is slightly different than traditional operations. Operations that advance the iter directly are expected to return success or failure (i.e. 0 or negative error code) in iter.processed rather than the number of bytes processed.
