On the subject of which statistics to display on a cifs/smb3 mount - one
other example for comparison, mountstats. Note that nfs is the only
filesystem which seems to display detailed information in
/proc/<pid>/mountstats

See below sample output e.g. "cat /proc/1/mountstats" (would this be useful
to add for cifs.ko? ie implementing "show_stats" superblock method as nfs
does to display more detailed smb3 specific protocol statistics)

device vmware-vmblock mounted on /run/vmblock-fuse with fstype
fuse.vmware-vmblock
device //localhost/test mounted on /mnt with fstype cifs
