Oops, forgot to update the changelog there. Yes, that's exactly what it
changed to. That discussion was here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200219144117.GP24185@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
... and then Christoph pointed out the iterators weren't really adding
much value at that point, so they got deleted. New changelog for
this patch:
btrfs: Convert from readpages to readahead
Implement the new readahead method in btrfs. Add a readahead_page_batch()
to optimise fetching a batch of pages at once.
