Well, thats the rub isn't it? debugfs is not 'production ready' (by definition) so why spend time on it? I honestly don't understand the reluctance to do a good job here. We all hear the same things from users - more visibility is needed - this debufs patch kinda addresses a very tiny portion of that visbility. Why the resistance to doing a proper job and solving the actual problem? debufs is entirely the wrong answer - this is not kernel debugging, this is required user space diagnostic information.
