[$] Tracepoints for the VFS?
Friday April 18, 2025. 03:55 PM , from LWN.net
Adding tracepoints to some kernel subsystems has been controversial—or
disallowed—due to concerns about the user-space ABI that they might create. The virtual filesystem (VFS) layer has long been one of the subsystems that has not allowed any tracepoints, but that may be changing. At the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), Ted Ts'o led a discussion about whether the ABI concerns are outweighed by the utility of tracepoints for the VFS.
