The rbtree can temporarily store overlapping inactive elements during the transaction processing, leading to false negative lookups. To address this issue, this patch adds a .commit function that walks the the rbtree to build a array of intervals of ordered elements. This conversion compacts the two singleton elements that represent the start and the end of the interval into a single interval object for space efficient. Binary search is O(log n), similar to rbtree lookup time, therefore, performance number should be similar, and there is an implementation available under lib/bsearch.c and include/linux/bsearch.h that is used for this purpose. This slightly increases memory consumption for this new array that stores pointers to the start and the end of the interval. With this patch: # time nft -f 100k-intervals-set.nft real 0m4.218s user 0m3.544s sys 0m0.400s Without this patch: # time nft -f 100k-intervals-set.nft real 0m3.920s user 0m3.547s sys 0m0.276s With this patch, with IPv4 intervals: baseline rbtree (match on first field only): 15254954pps Without this patch: baseline rbtree (match on first field only): 10256119pps This provides a ~50% improvement in matching intervals from packet path.
