Are you against the interface part or the btrfs specific perf part? For the first half, indeed the new sysfs is not good and I'm OK to move to any more established interface. For the later half, if bfp/ftrace can do the same work, then I'm fine. Otherwise the need is still here, both developer or experienced sys admin will need this feature. Thanks, Qu
