Commitbdb8d06dfe("dmabuf: Add the capability to expose DMA-BUF stats in sysfs") added dmabuf statistics to sysfs in 2021 under CONFIG_DMABUF_SYSFS_STATS. After being used in production, performance problems were discovered leading to its deprecation in 2022 in commite0a9f1fe20("dma-buf: deprecate DMABUF_SYSFS_STATS"). Some of the problems with this interface were discussed in my LPC 2025 talk. [1][2] Android was probably the last user of the interface, which has since been migrated to use the dmabuf BPF iterator [3] to obtain the same information more cheaply. As promised in that series, now that the longterm stable 6.18 kernel has been released let's remove the sysfs dmabuf statistics from the kernel.
