Balbir, are you able to summarise where we stand wrt per-task-delay-accounting-* now?
Andrew,I'm maintaining per-task delay accouting and taskstats interface patches so I'll take the liberty to reply :-)
What problem have we identified? How close are we to finding agreeable solutions to them?
The main problems identified are: 1. extra sending of per-tgid stats on every thread exit 2. unnecessary send of per-tgid stats when there are no listeners3. unnecessary linkage of delayacct accumalation into per-tgid stats with sending out of taskstats
All three have an acceptable solution. 1. & 3. are going to be addressed in a patch I'm sending out shortly. 2. in a separate patch also being sent out shortly.
The rework will affect the number of per-tgid records that userspace sees (fewer), not the format or any of theMy general sense is that there's some rework needed, and that rework will affect the userspace interfaces, which is a problem for a 2.6.18 merge.
other details regarding the genetlink interface. Will that be a problem for userspace ? --Shailabh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
