Thanks for the comment. I still have budget for one patch until I hit
the 15 limit, so I guess I'll do that separately before this one.
Just trying to make sure I get it right. You want me to annotate
fdb_create(), br_fdb_update(), fdb_add_entry() and
br_fdb_external_learn_add() with WRITE_ONCE() too, right?
Can I resend right away or did you notice other issues in the other
patches?
