BTW, I do want to thank you for doing this. I would *love* to have tracefs switched over to kernfs. Unfortunately, I have no time to do it. I also don't want to lose the memory savings that is done in eventfs. Even if kernfs couldn't do what is needed in eventfs, I'd still be happy if just the tracefs portion was converted over to kernfs, as long as it treated the eventfs the same as tracefs does today. I never really wanted to be the tracefs/eventfs maintainer. I just needed the interface for tracing. The more generic code it can use, the better. This is why I'm ecstatic for the simplification changes that Linus is making. -- Steve
