Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 4/6] super: use common iterator (Part 2)
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 11:48:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808154852.370323-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260808154852.370323-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit b47e42d10e8c20525febccbd6e0dc8528861aea4 ]

Use a common iterator for all callbacks. We could go for something even
more elaborate (advance step-by-step similar to iov_iter) but I really
don't think this is warranted.
