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.

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. */ enum nfs_stat_bytecounters { … }; /* * NFS event counters * * These counters provide a low-overhead way of monitoring client * activity without enabling NFS trace debugging.
