No, new memory requirements are still ~O(n), because the additional pages needed for the index in the radix tree are outweighted by the memory saved by the smaller size of struct rtree_node compared to struct bm_block. If you want to see real numbers, here is a small tool which tells you exactly when you need more memory and how much you save with the new memory bitmap implementation: http://www.zlug.org/~joro/data/mem_req.c It will tell you that the new implementation uses at most 2 more pages for smaller RAM sizes (2 pages because 2 memory bitmaps are allocated) and will actually save pages for bigger RAM sizes (already 30 pages on a 1TB machine, 384 pages on a 12TB machine) You can also modify the above tool to give you some data to plot, then you will also SEE that there is still a linear relationship between RAM size and memory required by the old and new memory bitmap implementation.
