nfs: wrong function to increment NFSIOS_READPAGES/WRITEPAGES stat counters?

[Nicolas Iooss]

Hello,

Since commit 5a254d08b086 ("nfs: replace nfs_add_stats with
nfs_inc_stats when add one") [1], nfs_readpage and nfs_do_writepage  use
nfs_inc_stats to increment NFSIOS_READPAGES and NFSIOS_WRITEPAGES
instead of nfs_add_stats.

However nfs_inc_stats is not similar as nfs_add_stats with parameter 1
because these functions work on distinct stats:
nfs_inc_stats increments stats from "enum nfs_stat_eventcounters" (in
server->io_stats->events) and nfs_add_stats those from "enum
nfs_stat_bytecounters" (in server->io_stats->bytes), according to their
implementations in fs/nfs/iostat.h [2].

If I understand the code correctly, "nfs_inc_stats(inode,
NFSIOS_READPAGES);" is in fact executed as "nfs_inc_stats(inode,
NFSIOS_VFSACCESS);" and "nfs_inc_stats(inode, NFSIOS_WRITEPAGES);" as
"nfs_inc_stats(inode, NFSIOS_VFSUPDATEPAGE);".

As this looks like a bug to me, I am reporting it in hope it could be
fixed, for example by reverting 5a254d08b086.  Of course, I may be
wrong, in which case an explanation about what I missed in my analysis
would be appreciated.


By the way, I found this while trying to compile LLVMLinux on current
master branch of Linux.  clang reported the following warnings:

fs/nfs/read.c:287:23: warning: implicit conversion from enumeration type
'enum nfs_stat_bytecounters' to different enumeration type 'enum
nfs_stat_eventcounters' [-Wenum-conversion]
            nfs_inc_stats(inode, NFSIOS_READPAGES);
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fs/nfs/write.c:583:23: warning: implicit conversion from enumeration
type 'enum nfs_stat_bytecounters' to different enumeration type 'enum
nfs_stat_eventcounters' [-Wenum-conversion]
            nfs_inc_stats(inode, NFSIOS_WRITEPAGES);
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks,

Nicolas
