When testing high-bandwidth TCP streams with large windows, high latency, and low jitter, netem consumes a lot of CPU cycles doing rbtree rebalancing. This patch uses a linear list/queue in addition to the rbtree: if an incoming packet is past the tail of the linear queue, it is added there, otherwise it is inserted into the rbtree. Without this patch, perf shows netem_enqueue, netem_dequeue, and rb_* functions among the top offenders. With this patch, only netem_enqueue is noticeable if jitter is low/absent.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
