Add posix, bsize=, namelen= options to /proc/mounts for nfs
filesystems.

Document several other options that are still missing.

NFS lists only some options in /proc/mounts on purpose: only the
essential options are mentioned there to keep clutter down. The three
you've added here are for all intents and purposes deprecated, which is
why they are not supported.

NFS lists a more complete set of mount options for a mount point in
/proc/self/mountstats. See nfs_show_stats().

Since your cover letter does not explain why you are changing this code,
can you refer me to a description of why you are doing this?

Descritption is in the 01/26 patch.

More below.

Right, thanks.

This one isn't, and should be... would be useful for tracking down

And these mount* options are for the kernel's new mount protocol client.
They aren't really useful for understanding steady-state NFS client
behavior, they only effect mount-time behavior.

All mount options should be shown, which are needed to reconstruct a
previous mount.

Ah, OK.

I'm happy to implement logic to display the all missing options. I should have updated nfs_show_mount_options() when I wrote the NFS mount option parser.

Let me know your preference.

For example, if you copy options out from /proc/mount, umount the
filesystem, and then create a new mount with the copied options, you
should get the same mount.

For NFS, umount also needs to read some of the options in order to determine how mountd is to connect to the server for the unmount. (That's why we have addr= in the first place).
