[linux-cifs-client] mountstats

[Steve French]

Why are mountstats per process (e.g. "cat /proc/1/mountstats")?

The only fs which exports these appears to be nfs.   Although it is 
probably a good idea to export them for cases like nfs (and cifs and 
some clusterfs) by calling show_stats in fs/namespace.c etc.    These 
stats appear to have nothing to do with per-process data and are rather 
per-superblock.

NFS for example shows:
device localhost:/test-share mounted on /mnt with fstype nfs statvers=1.0
        opts:   
rw,vers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=3,sec=sys

Is there another path (other than read of /proc/<pid>/mounstats) which 
ends up in s_op->show_stats?

Seems logical to map cifs's /proc/fs/cifs/Stats to this as well as that 
already does per-mounted share (close enough to per-mount)
