Any more feedback? The only comment that I acted on is a trivial
suggestion from Dave Miller: change the types for the route_virt
and filter_virt fields of the ipa structure from void pointer to
u64 pointer. That required no other changes to the code.
At this point I plan to post a version 3 of this series in the
coming week and it will include just that one change. I might
do some comment updates before then as well.
But if anyone expects to provide any additional input on the
code in the near term, I can delay posting v3 until that has
been addressed. If this applies to you, please let me know.
(No pressure; things can always wait for v4...)
Thanks.
