8  *  NFS client per-mount statistics provide information about the
9  *  health of the NFS client and the health of each NFS mount point.
10  *  Generally these are not for detailed problem diagnosis, but
11  *  simply to indicate that there is a problem.
12  *
13  *  These counters are not meant to be human-readable, but are meant
14  *  to be integrated into system monitoring tools such as "sar" and
15  *  "iostat".  As such, the counters are sampled by the tools over
16  *  time, and are never zeroed after a file system is mounted.
17  *  Moving averages can be computed by the tools by taking the
18  *  difference between two instantaneous samples  and dividing that
19  *  by the time between the samples.

28  * NFS byte counters
29  *
30  * 1.  SERVER - the number of payload bytes read from or written
31  *     to the server by the NFS client via an NFS READ or WRITE
32  *     request.
33  *
34  * 2.  NORMAL - the number of bytes read or written by applications
35  *     via the read(2) and write(2) system call interfaces.
36  *
37  * 3.  DIRECT - the number of bytes read or written from files
38  *     opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
39  *
40  * These counters give a view of the data throughput into and out
41  * of the NFS client.  Comparing the number of bytes requested by
42  * an application with the number of bytes the client requests from
43  * the server can provide an indication of client efficiency
44  * (per-op, cache hits, etc).
45  *
46  * These counters can also help characterize which access methods
47  * are in use.  DIRECT by itself shows whether there is any O_DIRECT
48  * traffic.  NORMAL + DIRECT shows how much data is going through
49  * the system call interface.  A large amount of SERVER traffic
50  * without much NORMAL or DIRECT traffic shows that applications
51  * are using mapped files.
52  *
53  * NFS page counters
54  *
55  * These count the number of pages read or written via nfs_readpage(),
56  * nfs_readpages(), or their write equivalents.
57  *
58  * NB: When adding new byte counters, please include the measured
59  * units in the name of each byte counter to help users of this
60  * interface determine what exactly is being counted.

79  * show the rate at which VFS requests are made, and how often the
80  * client invalidates its data and attribute caches.  This allows
81  * system administrators to monitor such things as how close-to-open
82  * is working, and answer questions such as "why are there so many
83  * GETATTR requests on the wire?"

86  * silly renames due to close-after-delete, and operations that
87  * change the size of a file (such operations can often be the
88  * source of data corruption if applications aren't using file
89  * locking properly).
