Subject: [PATCH v5 0/6] nfsd/sunrpc: convert nfsstat server-side interfaces to use netlink
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:57:54 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618-exportd-netlink-v5-0-e9aef947af3d@kernel.org> (raw)
The main difference in this version is the addition of server callback
operation counts. I'll be sending another nfs-utils patch to add support
for displaying those in nfsstat.
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. The nfs-utils patch for that part is already merged.
Additionally, this version adds tracking of callback operation counts.
