Hi Patrick.

Thanks for working on this.

It's been a while since 956d2e4639 (tests: add a test mode for SANITIZE=leak,
run it in CI, 2021-09-23).  This series marks certainly another milestone.

I have left a few comments, none of them important.  The series looks
good to me.  Just in case you re-roll, while reading the series I
spotted some nits:
