Change the iomap ->page_prepare() handler to get and return a locked folio instead of doing that in iomap_write_begin(). This allows to recover from out-of-memory situations in ->page_prepare(), which eliminates the corresponding error handling code in iomap_write_begin(). The ->put_folio() handler now also isn't called with NULL as the folio value anymore. Filesystems are expected to use the iomap_get_folio() helper for getting locked folios in their ->page_prepare() handlers.

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.
