New Revision: 301505
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/301505

Log:
  In if_purgeaddrs() we cannot hold the lock over the entire loop
  due to called functions (as in other parts of the stack, leave a comment).
  Put around a lock the removal of the ifa from the list however to
  reduce the possible race with other places.
