Description
Currently, procfs has incomplete support for NFSv4 RPC operation statistics for both NFS clients and NFS servers. The NFS server metrics are missing all NFS v4.1, v4.2, and RFC 8276 xattr operations. The NFS v4 client operations are more complicated (because the Linux kernel is more complicated here), but I believe it's missing nine operations (it has up to 'Copy' and is missing from 'Copy' onward).
One additional effect of the current state is that the Linux client metrics include operations that the NFS server metrics don't, which can be confusing if you have an all-Linux NFS environment and you're trying to watch both clients and servers.

Research direction
Locate the procfs code that parses NFS client and server RPC operation statistics, then compare its supported NFSv4 operations with the Linux kernel definitions and the operations described in the issue. Completion means covering the missing server operations and the nine client operations after Copy, with validation for both metric sets.
