Subject: [RFC PATCH] ulist: generic data structure to build unique lists
ulist is a generic data structures to hold a collection of unique u64
values. The only operations it supports is adding to the list and
enumerating it.
It is possible to store an auxiliary value along with the key.
The implementation is preliminary and can probably be sped up
significantly.
The main purpose of this submission is to get some idea whether this
data structure is worth having generally available.
It is used by btrfs subvolume quota to translate recursions into iterative
loops and to gather a unique list of roots. Once I had built this data
structure, several uses for it popped up.
