Sorry for being late, I wasn't in "TO:", so missed the whole discussion. Greg, We need the exposed information for the memory optimizations (debug, not production) of our high speed NICs. Our devices (mlx5) allocates a lot of memory, so optimization there can help us to scale in SRIOV mode easier and be less constraint by the memory. I want to emphasize that I don't like idea of extending /proc/* interface because it is going to be painful to grep on large machines with many devices. And I don't like the idea that every driver will need to register into this interface, because it will be abused almost immediately. My proposal was to create new sysfs file by driver/core and put all information automatically there, for example, it can be /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0c.0/meminfo ^^^^^^^ Thanks
