Because i do not know how much a maple tree is efficient when it comes to lookups, insert and removing. As an RCU safe data structure, yes, a searching is improved in a way there is no need in taking spinlock. As a noted earlier i do not know if a maple tree allows to find a data when instead of key, it is associated with, we pass something that is withing a searchable area: [va_start:va_end]. -- Uladzislau Rezki
