The problem my userspace guys have is that this doesn't work with
"trace-cmd -P $pid".

But I think I can teach them how filters work :)

Yes, we thought about this alternative as well.

Why? For the case here we just execute a work item in the background for
an userspace process.

Tracing the pid of the worker pool which executes it doesn't seem to
make to much sense.

Thanks for the quick reply,
