Re: please help backporting some patches to stable release 22.11.6

[Luca Boccassi <bluca@debian.org>]

Hi,

That mempool patch introduces a new API, so it is not appropriate for
backporting. If you need this bug fix in 22.11.6, then a 22.11.x
specific patch is needed for it, that doesn't change the library API.
