Yes, it's a tad on the intrusive side, and there's performance costs attached -<br>
but so are a lot of *other* things that people use all the time for kernel<br>
debugging, and it's a zero-hit thing for people who don't choose to configure<br>
it into their kernel. The added detailed status available from this will be<br>
useful for people who are doing tuning and development (consider how useful<br>
this would have been for the people who wrote the codel line discipline as part<br>
of the bufferbloat project).<br>
<br>
I'm willing to do the not-so-heavy lifting of getting the existing patch<br>
cleaned up to upstream standards and sheparded through the process, if there's<br>
any interest at all....<br>
