My patch series is a proposal for a generic implementation of statistics.
This uses debugfs for the user interface, but the
per-task-delay-accounting-*.patch series from Balbir creates an extensible
netlink-based system for passing instrumentation results back to userspace.
Can this code be converted to use those netlink interfaces, or is Balbir's
approach unsuitable, or hasn't it even been considered, or what?
Andrew,
taskstats, Balbir'r approach, is too specific and doesn't work for me.
It is by design limited to per-task data.
My statistics code is not limited to per-task statistics, but allows exploiters
to have data been accumulated and been shown for whatever entity they need to,
may it be for tasks, for SCSI disks, per adapter, per queue, per interface,
for a device driver, etc.
If you want me to change my code to use netlink anyway, I might be able to
implement my own genetlink family. I haven't look at the details of that yet.
