Hi,
I have added some code for NFSv4 server statistics for individual NFSv4
operations. I will submitting that to the NFS community soon.
I have some questions:
1. I noticed in Allen's patch for nfsstat for NFSv4 statistics that he
has taken into account only 32 NFSv4 operations. Do you have any reasons
for leaving out the other operations (like PUTFH, SECINFO, SAVEFH)?
2. I understand that in NFSv3 server we write the statistics into
/proc/net/rpc/nfsd in the same order as the RPC procedure numbers. Using
the same logic, I have written the NFSv4 statistics to be logged into
/proc/net/rpc/nfsd in the same order in which the operations are listed
in the NFSv4 RFC. But the NFSv4 client statistics that are getting
printed in Allen's patch seem to be of a different order. Why was this
decided to be so?
Thanks,
Shankar

At a guess: PUTFH and SAVEFH aren't particularly interesting, and
SECINFO isn't implemented yet on the server (and isn't used yet on the
client).

But the problem with this is that we skip operations in between,
which breaks the order of the operations given in the RFC i.e. the
linear order
in which the statistics are captured in the NFSv4 server.
Just want to know why this was done when capturing the count for an
extra
procedure does not require much extra effort, going by the existing
code and
actually causes a break in the list of operation numbers.

It would be great if someone can answer this too.
