I still have no idea how this ties into export ops. Currently I don't see any tracing code using export operations, so maybe a big part of the series is missing/

You can already get i_ino using statx, and i_generation using FS_IOC_GETVERSION, so I'm a little lost on why you need the full exportfs infrastructure.
