So why do we now have a list _and_ a tree for the same entries?

We need groups list to iterate through all groups configured for collection
and we need the tree to quickly iterate through the groups allocated for a
particular CPU only.

*confused*, what?

Why can't the tree do both?


Well, indeed, the tree provides such capability too. However switching to the full tree iteration in cases where we now go through _groups lists will enlarge the patch, what is probably is not a big deal. Do you think it is worth implementing the switch?

Thanks,
Alexey
