A zero-initialization is fine, I sent a v2 with zero-initialization
fixed yesterday:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250812-iot_iter_folio-v2-1-f99423309478@codewreck.org

(and I'll send a v3 with the goto replaced with a bigger if later today
as per David's request)

I assume Andrew will pick it up eventually?
