[PATCH v2 0/4] nfsd/sunrpc: convert nfsstat server-side interfaces to use netlink

[Jeff Layton]

The nfsstat tool currently scrapes /proc/net/rpc/nfsd for server
statistics. This procfs interface has several limitations: the
counters are global (not network-namespace-aware), the format is
fragile to parse, and it cannot be extended without breaking
existing parsers.

This series adds per-network-namespace procedure call counts to
the sunrpc layer and exposes them through a new netlink handler
in the nfsd generic netlink family, allowing nfsstat to retrieve
server statistics via netlink with a procfs fallback for older
kernels.

Patch 1 adds per-netns per-procedure percpu call count arrays to
struct svc_stat, allocated alongside the nfsd_net lifecycle.

Patch 2 switches svc_seq_show() to read from the per-netns
counters, making /proc/net/rpc/nfsd namespace-aware. Note that this
is a behavior change, but I think it's a desirable one.

Patch 3 implements the server-stats-get netlink dump handler,
streaming reply-cache, filehandle, IO, network, and RPC
statistics plus per-version and per-operation procedure counts.

Patch 4 removes the now-unused global svc_version vs_count
percpu arrays from nfsd, lockd, and the NFS client callback
service.

I'll also be sending an nfs-utils patch to convert nfsstat to use the
new interfaces.
