inetpeer: remove AVL implementation in favor of RB tree
As discussed in Faro during Netfilter Workshop 2017, RB trees can be used with RCU, using a seqlock. Note that net/rxrpc/conn_service.c is already using this. This patch converts inetpeer from AVL tree to RB tree, since it allows to remove private AVL implementation in favor of shared RB code. $ size net/ipv4/inetpeer.before net/ipv4/inetpeer.after text data bss dec hex filename 3195 40 128 3363 d23 net/ipv4/inetpeer.before 1562 24 0 1586 632 net/ipv4/inetpeer.after The same technique can be used to speed up net/netfilter/nft_set_rbtree.c (removing rwlock contention in fast path) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
