During the l2k15 hackathon, we enjoyed putting a lot of if_get(9) all over the network stack. Then more recently we started removing them. I even briefly explained why we should try to avoid using this API. All of this can be confusing, so let me tell you a story. A story of garbage collection inside the kernel.
