Live allocation iterator

If this is not possible ( I see an old post which says jemalloc does not
have this infra but that was back in 2012 ). Is it possible to iterate over
just an arena and dump all allocations in it  ? Basically, I have memory
pool implemented on top of jemalloc which holds metadata about all other
allocations jemalloc does, if I can iterate over this arena and get hold of
metadata, I can get hold of each allocation as well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
