I was initially under the impression that with Kent's repost, the radixtree
(which is what I think you meant by rhashtables) updates would be merged

Oops! Yep.. I had meant flex_arrays actually.

imminently, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  I'd really like to know
what the hold up there is, as that patch seems to have been stalled for
months.  I hate the notion of breaking the radixtree patch, but if it's
status is indeterminate, then, yes, we probably need to go with xins patch
for the short term, and let Kent fix it up in due course.

Dave, can you please consider applying this patch? The conflict
resolution will be easy: just ignore the changes introduced by this
patch.

Dave I concur with Marcelo here.  Kent was very active in getting sctp fixed up
to use radixtrees, but now he seems to have gone to ground, and for whatever
reason, no one seems interested in incorporating his patch.  Its been languising
for months, so I think we need to take action to secure sctp now until such time
as his genradix changes finally move forward.

I agree, please let's get this sctp patch resubmitted and back into
patchwork and I will apply it.

reposted.
