…hird_party/c-list' Add "c-list" library ([1]). We already have an internal implementation for a circular, intrusive, doubly-linked list (in `include/netlink/list.h`). However, I think the "c-list" library is excellent, and in 2024 a netlink library should no longer reimplement a basic data structure. Vendor "c-list" via git-subtree. We want to strictly follow upstream (no local changes on our side) but re-import the library when there are new upstream changes. Existing users of <netlink/list.h> are not required to be rewritten. But new users should use "c-list.h". This is only an internal dependency, we anyway wouldn't want to expose such a list in our public API.

LGTM 👍 Could it be good to mention in the existing list implementation that new modules should prefer to use this implementation instead? |
This is mentioned both in the commit message and in the PR description here. Do you have anything else in mind? |
