Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/7] perf config: Add support for config read/write

Hi, Arnaldo :)

I guess you're so busy,
but would you mind If I ask a question ?

I sent a patchset adding support for config read/write.
(There are also Namhyung's demand lately 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/10/24/572)

For a while, I stoped the patchset about default config array
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/5/17 .

Is it better to handle support for config reade/write, first ?


Thanks,
Taeung
