Actually, I believe the ranges you need to track are non-overlapping, correct ? If that is the case, a simple rbtree, sorted by start-of-range address, would work best.

I am afraid I am missing some of the background about how the feature is to be used to really dig into the rest of the changes at this point :/ -- Michel "Walken" Lespinasse A program is never fully debugged until the last user dies. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
