Do you mean we do not want patch 3/3, but would like to keep 1/3 and part of 2/3 (remove the _without_suffix APIs)? If this is the case, we are undoing the change by Sami in [1], and thus may break some tracing tools. Sami, could you please share your thoughts on this? If this works, I will send next version with 1/3 and part of 2/3. Thanks, Song [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210408182843.1754385-8-samitolvanen@xxxxxxxxxx/
