[LTP] [PATCH 6.6.y 00/12] Backport "make svc_stat per-net instead of global"

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Calum,

> Hi Petr,

> There are two sets of changes here, for NFS client, and NFS server.

> The NFS client changes have already been backported from v6.9 all the way to v5.4.

> Here, Chuck is discussing the NFS server changes (and others), which were not backported from v6.9 (actually, a few were, but only to v6.8).

Thanks for info! Now I'll see the patchset "Make nfsd stats visible in network
ns" [1]. kernelnewbies [2] starts with d98416cc2154 ("nfsd: rename
NFSD_NET_* to NFSD_STATS_*"), the others are probably some preparation commits.

Anyway, I'll update the patch with NFS server patchset.

Kind regards,
Petr
