Hi Eric:

I'm guessing the cost is in the rb_first and rb_next computations. Did
you consider something like this:

        struct rb_root *root
        struct rb_node **p = &root->rb_node;

        while (*p != NULL) {
                struct foobar *fb;

                fb = container_of(*p, struct foobar, rb_node);
                // fb processing

		  rb_erase(&nh->rb_node, root);

quoted

                p = &root->rb_node;
        }

Oops, dropped the rb_erase in my consolidating the code to this snippet.

Hi David

This gives about same numbers than method_1

I tried with 10^7 skbs in the tree :

Your suggestion takes 66ns per skb, while the one I chose takes 37ns per
skb.

Thanks.
