Thank you for great patches. I really appreciate that.
When I merged your patches, I found some unnecessary codes and memory
structures such as gc_info in the original codes.
So I've done some works additionally based on the patches.
Furthermore, for readability, I merged 3 stat files into one file, and
let it show all the superblocks together, no breakdown per partition.
I'll submit v3-series applying these changes soon.
Thanks,
