I agree this is not a blocker, but I think it would be nice if you could
follow-up on this one.
The solution proposed by the LLM LGTM.
Same here.
Also, still speaking of possible follow-up, I think it would be nice if
you could change the addr list lifecycle to RCU (no idea of how much
complex would be that).
Thanks for the review. Since we're already at v12 I'd rather not respin
just for these, but I agree both are worth fixing, so I'll handle them as
follow ups.
The first one is a simple fix, so if v13 ends up being needed
for other reasons I'll fold it in there, otherwise I'll send it as a
separate patch.
The RCU conversion needs more thought and will probably
cause quite a bit of churn, so I'll try it if there's a v13, and if it
gets too messy. I'll post it separately later.
follow-ups - not to be included here.
My understanding is that there is sort of a pending/implicit question
from Jakub on v9: why are you doing this? is does it solve some
specific scaling problem or is 'nl is nicer" thing?
