The stats will be inaccessible when a vsvr is disabled which is
consistent with the behavior of the "stats txrx ip|udp|tcp" commands but
not "stats txrx nfs|cifs" commands.  So much for consistency.  Client
stats associated with it will be destroyed, i.e. list entries returned
to free entry pool.  So when a vsvr is re-enabled, it will have no
client stats listed to start off with until the vsvr begins accepting
new clients.  Prior to destroying the list entries their stat counter
values may accumulated into a global stat counter for the
vsvr/volume/share or it too can be reset during the vsvr disable.  I'm
not sure what the desired behavior should be.

Typically, the resetting of stats will only apply to active client list
entries and perhaps the global vsvr/volume/share stat counters subject
to the selection options upon command.

On a vsvr move the stats will automatically reset.

On down rev nodes, the message will not be recognized and the stats
command will fail.
I don't believe a crash will occur, at least not in this case.=20

So, does this mean the stats are not reset when a vsvr is disabled?  We
should state the policy regardless.
[MK] There are three choices, reset the stats on vsvr disabled, reset
the stats on vsvr move, never reset the stats unless the user asks to.
Any choice is OK as long as it is specified which one it is.

What happens in a mixed revision cluster?  I assume the info is obtained
from another node by sending it a message.  What will an older node do
with said message?  Ignore it, so we timeout?  Crash?
[MK] Crash of course. That will teach the other node to not send the
message next time.

The point that we should keep the counters for the connections that go
away should be the part of the functional spec.

I agree with Max that we should combine these PVRs together.=20

Also, I don't think the functional spec is the right document to discuss
the implementation. Though it's good to get pointers on how this can be
implemented. The implementation details should come in the Design
Document.

Thanks,
Amit

We have another similar PVR:

"User Auditing
Monitor all users that are currently accessing the services from a
filer.  Need to provide info on a per:
a) Volume / Share basis
b) Per Virtual Server basis. "

It looks like it makes sense to combine the two PVRs together. You
commands will have several additional parameters:

 "-v VOLUME"

Display the information for a particular volume.

-d SHARE

Display the information for a particular share, either NFS or CIFS.=20

-u=20

Turn on per user display. If the option is not specified, display per
client information only.

I don't like having the user specify either "cifs" or "nfs" all the
time, a lot of the customers are either cifs or nfs only and this only
makes the typing harder. I would rather make it an option, like

-p protocol.

Filter by protocol. If not specified, display all protocols.

Regarding the implementation:=20

Keeping track of NFS users requires a hash lookup on each RPC, and the
information can not be kept in the connection structure.=20

The CIFS usage information should be kept in the tree connection
structure. We should preserve the information when the tree connection
goes away. When this happens the counters should be moved into the
global hash.=20

When data from the global hash is recycled, we should save this
somewhere so the percentages and totals continue to make sense if we
have to recycle the information about a client with high usage. The
counters for the unknown usages should display as "unknown" or something
like that.

The overhead for the spec purposes will probably be minimal. The spec
does require a lot of clients to run. The lookups should hit the cache
most of the time. In case this turns out not true, we should plan for
implementing a persistent option to turn the feature off.

We'll need to pick up the value for the maximum number of the hash
entries we are going to keep.

1.	Section 3, the intent is to get this into 3.3.2/4.0.2 which is
end of year, unless you are saying that cannot be done.
2.	This feature should have an enabled/disabled option; unless the
performance impact is negligible I would not have it turned on all of
the time.  That would require more CLI options and a decision whether it
is persistent across reboots.
3.	A reasonable approach is to keep stats in struct acpu_conn which
is directly accessible without any extra lookup work.  This might make
the overhead negligible and allow for an always on approach.  Note that
when a client disconnects we would lose the stats, even if a moment
before they were among the most active.  It's probably not worth trying
to preserve the stats for the last N clients that disconnected and then
restore the stats if there is a match on reconnect, but it wouldn't be
all that difficult either.
4.	What is the limit on the number of clients you will keep if any?
What is the testing limit for clients?

Please review the Per Client Stats functional spec (ECR TED20020) for
Kegg.
