Hi @joel , thank you for the review. I completely understand the concern regarding the per instance memory overhead. I had proceeded with the bitmap approach based on the earlier [discourse Thread ](https://users.rtems.org/t/gsoc-26-lower-message-priority-range-optimization/496/3?u=chandanuvm)discussion with @gedare and @sebhub's recent approval of the memory tradeoff for the 32 priority limit.
But I agree that the array of Chain_Control instances makes the base MQ object too large per message queue instance.
I will pivot the design to use the Red-Black tree implementation as you and Sebastian initially suggested, I will use the existing red black tree in the kernel , and update the draft MR shortly.
@joel @sebhub @gedare Can you please guide me through this since I've included bitmap + priority bucket implementation solution in the proposal, how should I go about it.
