Uom.

In my subjective, currently, procfs is used for representing dynamic
information such as statistical data, and sysfs is used for representing
statical information such as module parameters.

/proc is for process information. This stuff definitely belongs in sysfs. It's analogous to /sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/.

In this case, I think that this I/O information is  former, so information
is put into procfs in this time.
As similar example, ballon infromation exist in procfs.

The balloon driver shouldn't be using proc.

Is it better that realizing at sysfs?

Thanks,
Satoshi UCHIDA
