Thanks for this Eli as well as the testing, was a bit confused myself as the community CI was passing yesterday initially with RC1, so good catch.

One minor comment below.

So in the sparse patch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git/commit/?id=cf8f104749f5bca36852989297af8cc19ff24d5f

I see the changes to the ACQ_REL and ATOMIC_RELAXED, but no mention of the atomic_add_fetch, for my own curiosity must the fetch atomic fetch and gather operations also be wrapped because of the sparse patch or is this more an effort future proof and keep the definitions uniform in OVS? Same query WRT the atomic load operation below.

Thanks
Ian
