I wonder if this should be reworked a bit to reduce indenting:

if (PTR_ERR(folio) == -ESTALE) {
iter->iomap.flags |= IOMAP_F_STALE;
return 0;
}
if (IS_ERR(folio))
return PTR_ERR(folio);

But I don't have any strong opinions about that.

I would reword this to:

"When an iomap is created, the filesystem can store internal state (e.g.
sequence number) in iomap->validity_cookie. The get_folio handler can
use this validity cookie to detect if the iomap is no longer up to date
and needs to be refreshed. If this is the case, the function should
return ERR_PTR(-ESTALE) to retry the operation with a fresh mapping."
