I recently came across a need for this patch so I just wanted to
say thanks and since I've used it a fair bit feel free to add:

Tested-by: Nathan Scott <nathans@...hat.com>

One small tweak you could make is to drop the extra whitespace
from those new seq_printf calls - "\t%d " has a trailing space
that isn't needed.

Also there's proc status docs below Documentation/ that should be
updated for these changes.  They are slightly out-of-date already
and there's a few typos in the vicinity - something like this may
do the trick though ... ?  (will need to be updated at merge time
with the correct kernel version)


docs: add missing and new /proc/PID/status file entries, fix typos
