    netfilter: nf_tables: add space notation to sets · 0b5a7874
    Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
    The space notation allows us to classify the set backend implementation
    based on the amount of required memory. This provides an order of the
    set representation scalability in terms of memory. The size field is
    still left in place so use this if the userspace provides no explicit
    number of elements, so we cannot calculate the real memory that this set
    needs. This also helps us break ties in the set backend selection
    routine, eg. two backend implementations provide the same performance.
