What plans are these? :) Well, the good old iterator conversion originally from willy. His intent I think was to avoid the indirect call entirely for performance critical calls. I'm more interested in allowing the caller to keep more state, and to allow nested iterations to e.g. make buffered out of place overwrites suck less, and to maybe not do synchronous reads one block at a time in unshare. This was my last spin on the idea: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg122508.html I can't find willy's two older takes right now.
