We pass a lot of arguments to iomap_apply(), and subsequently to the actors that it calls. In preparation for adding one more argument, switch them to using a struct iomap_data instead. The actor gets a const version of that, they are not supposed to change anything in it. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>Looks good, only a couple of questions...
Thanks!

Yeah I think you are right, does seem like a better fit. I'll rename it for the next version.

To be honest, I just did what I needed, but I do think it's worth pursuing in general. The argument clutter is real. -- Jens Axboe
