People _will_ write scripts > that scrape this info, so we should take that into account up front. There is a man page for the nfsd filesystem, nfsd(7). I should write up something to add to that. If people write code without reading that then we may still end up boxed in, of course, but it's a start. What I'm hoping we can count on from readers: - they will ignore any unkown files in clients/#/. - readers will ignore any lines in clients/#/info starting with an unrecognized keyword. - they will ignore any unknown data at the end of clients/#/opens. That's in approximate decreasing order of my confidence in those rules being observed, though I don't think any of those are too much to ask. > > So, some random questions: > > > > - I just copied the major:minor:ino thing from /proc/locks, I > > suspect we would have picked something different to identify > > inodes if /proc/locks were done now.

It won't be 100% reliable, of course (unlinks, renames), but it could still be convenient for human readers, and an optimization for non-human readers trying to find an inode. The filehandle might be a good idea too. I wonder if there's any issue with line length, or with quantity of data emitted by a single seq_file show method.

Looks like fault injection gives up if there are rpc's in process for the given client, whereas here I'd rather force the expiry. Looks like that needs some straightforward waitqueue logic to wait for the in-progress rpc's. --b.
