there are cases that trigger a 2nd shadow event for the same
vmaddr/raddr combination. (prefix changes, reboots, some known races)
This will increase memory usages and it will result in long latencies
when cleaning up, e.g. on shutdown. To avoid cases with a list that has
hundreds of identical raddrs we check existing entries at insert time.
As this measurably reduces the list length this will be faster than
traversing the list at shutdown time.
In the long run several places will be optimized to create less entries
and a shrinker might be necessary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
