+ *  User-space visible declarations for NFS client per-mount
+ *  point statistics
+ *
+ *  Copyright (C) 2005, 2006 Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com>
+ *
+ *  NFS client per-mount statistics provide information about the
+ *  health of the NFS client and the health of each NFS mount point.
+ *  Generally these are not for detailed problem diagnosis, but
+ *  simply to indicate that there is a problem.
+ *
+ *  These counters are not meant to be human-readable, but are meant
+ *  to be integrated into system monitoring tools such as "sar" and
+ *  "iostat".  As such, the counters are sampled by the tools over
+ *  time, and are never zeroed after a file system is mounted.
+ *  Moving averages can be computed by the tools by taking the
+ *  difference between two instantaneous samples  and dividing that
+ *  by the time between the samples.

+ * NFS byte counters
+ *
+ * 1.  SERVER - the number of payload bytes read from or written
+ *     to the server by the NFS client via an NFS READ or WRITE
+ *     request.
+ *
+ * 2.  NORMAL - the number of bytes read or written by applications
+ *     via the read(2) and write(2) system call interfaces.
+ *
+ * 3.  DIRECT - the number of bytes read or written from files
+ *     opened with the O_DIRECT flag.
+ *
+ * These counters give a view of the data throughput into and out
+ * of the NFS client.  Comparing the number of bytes requested by
+ * an application with the number of bytes the client requests from
+ * the server can provide an indication of client efficiency
+ * (per-op, cache hits, etc).
+ *
+ * These counters can also help characterize which access methods
+ * are in use.  DIRECT by itself shows whether there is any O_DIRECT
+ * traffic.  NORMAL + DIRECT shows how much data is going through
+ * the system call interface.  A large amount of SERVER traffic
+ * without much NORMAL or DIRECT traffic shows that applications
+ * are using mapped files.
+ *
+ * NFS page counters
+ *
+ * These count the number of pages read or written via nfs_readpage(),
+ * nfs_readpages(), or their write equivalents.
+ *
+ * NB: When adding new byte counters, please include the measured
+ * units in the name of each byte counter to help users of this
+ * interface determine what exactly is being counted.
