I've submitted a patchset with the goal to apply against 6.10 (see the
notes there in the cover letter):

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/cover.1720448663.git.fdmanana@suse.com/

But it's up to David to submit to Linus, as he's the maintainer.
Though I haven't heard from him yet.

I plan at least one more improvement for the shrinker, but I would
like to know too if those patches go into 6.10 before it's released or
not,
because there are conflicts with the for-next branch.
