That would be great. I now have a series to return the ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio which will cause a minor conflict, but I think that's easy enough for Linux to handle. > > 1.

Do you mean the here removed ->iomap_valid ? writeback calls into ->map_blocks for every block while under the folio lock, so the validation can (and for XFS currently is) done in that. Moving it out into a separate method with extra indirect functiona call overhead and interactions between the methods seems like a retrograde step to me. > 2.

Yes.
