It's still linear. add_alarm() is still O(n), or better: it is O(n/2048) which is mathematically the same as O(n). But you made everything else O(n*2048) = O(n), which is why I dislike this optimization - you optimized for one artificial test case, penalizing the majority of conntrackd users who don't have 25.000 connections.
