Traditionally, system administrators have used the iostat utility
to track the amount of io performed to a local disk filesystem.
Similar functionality is provided for NFS mounts via the nfsstat
utility that reads the NFS client's stats from /proc/pid/mountstats.
There is currently no good way for a system administrator or a
monitoring application to track the amount of io performed via fuse
filesystems.
Opt-in for generic io stats via /proc/pid/mountstats to provide
that functionality.
It is possible to collect io stats on the server side inside libfuse,
but those io stats will not cover cached writes and reads. Therefore,
implementing the server side io stats would be complementary to these
client side io stats. Also, this feature provides the io stats for
existing fuse filesystem/lib release binaries.
This feature depends on CONFIG_MOUNT_IO_STATS.
