If one kernel mounts the same cephfs several times (with different prefixes), we observed that this is a unique client session. But does the ceph module globally share a single copy of cluster metadata, e.g. osdmaps, or is that all duplicated per session?
One copy per-cluster client, which should generally be shared between mounts to the same cluster, provided that you're using similar-enough mount options for the kernel to do that.
I suspect the problem is that if these are coming from mgr/volumes, then each mount has a unique cephx user (and a client cap that locks them into the exported directory), which means that the client instances can't be shared.
This is how it works for Manila but not CSI. As I recall, a single cephx user credential is used for all mounts by CSI.

Thats correct , single user with below mentioned capabilities are used for CSI volumes: https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/devel/docs/capabilities.md
