This patch adds a new bitmap set type. This bitmap uses two bits to represent one element. These two bits determine the element state in the current and the future generation that fits into the nf_tables commit protocol. When dumping elements back to userspace, the two bits are expanded into a struct nft_set_ext object. If no NFTA_SET_DESC_SIZE is specified, the existing automatic set backend selection prefers bitmap over hash in case of keys whose size is <= 16 bit. If the set size is know, the bitmap set type is selected if with 16 bit kets and more than 390 elements in the set, otherwise the hash table set implementation is used. For 8 bit keys, the bitmap consumes 66 bytes. For 16 bit keys, the bitmap takes 16388 bytes. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
