This patch only short-circuits the lookup for a specific case - lots of entries with the same ifname. What about other situations - say, alternating interfaces in ARP? I read if_indextoname(). The problem is that each call is sucking down the ifaddrs table and looking for the index. Is this likely to be a problem in other situations, rather than just /usr/sbin/arp ?
