When CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 is enabled keep counters for slow
commands (ie server took longer than 1 second to respond)
by SMB2/SMB3 command code.  This can help in diagnosing
whether performance problems are on server (instead of
client) and which commands are causing the problem.

Sample output (the new lines contain words "slow responses ...")

Wouldn't putting these alongside the existing per-session op counts be
more suitable, e.g.
1) \\192.168.1.1\rapido-share
...
Creates: 1 total 0 failed 1 slow
Closes: 0 total 0 failed 0 slow
Flushes: 1 total 0 failed 1 slow
Reads: 0 total 0 failed 0 slow

It'd be helpful if this file included some sort of API version, so that
parsers like PCP[1] knew what format to expect. Alternatively, moving
to a configfs style format with one metric per file (similar to LIO)
might be more useful and extensible, e.g.
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/sessions
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/shares
...
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/smbs
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/creates/total
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/creates/failed
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/creates/slow
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/reads/total
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/reads/failed
/sys/kernel/config/cifs/stats/<session>/reads/slow

That proc file was never meant for machine consumption. Some have tried
(myself included) but obviously it break everytime we update something.

I like having a hierarchy but having multiple files means potential race
conditions when reading everything. Alternatively we could just output
everything we already do in some structured format like JSON or
YAML. There is a precedence for JSON in clock device nodes
(drivers/clk/clk.c).

Does it really matter if multiple metrics can't be read atomically?
Other filesystems (XFS and Btrfs) seem to cope with this fine.

It makes properly handling tcp connection/session/tree connection
closing and reconnecting a lot harder (session id changes, files will
fail to open etc etc). It's just a lot simpler when everything is in one
place. But yes it's not critical I guess.

The main reason I separated these counters from the per-tree
connection ones was that it MUCH simplified the coding of them and
made it much less likely that it would introduce a bug/regression. It
also takes up less memory which is a minor but real benefit. In the
place where these requests are pulled off the wire and where timings
were already checked, we don't yet know which tree connection if any
(at least 4 of the command types don't have a tree connection) it is
associated with - but we do know which socket and thus which host
name.  In a perfect world we would also track read and write and
close/flush timings (maybe even open) and produce nice statistics as
Volker and others have suggested, but I wanted to model more closely
the read/write timings after iostat or better examples, and this set
of statistics I wanted as a very low risk set of counters that would
help diagnose various types of problems that I have been seeing with
reconnect - where we have to both understand why the reconnect
occurred (and whether the server has been showing other signs of
problems, other slow requests before the hang which triggered the
timeout and reconnect) but also debug the subsequent problems.   There
are so many reconnect scenarios, getting more objective data on what
is going on in a particular time period with slow responses is one
useful piece of data that will help.  I expect that the reconnect
problems I have been discussing with Pavel and others will lead to
four or five fixes - but in the short term I needed something
objective to more easily determine when the server is having problems.
