FS-Cache: Add main configuration option, module entry points and debugging Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches. The two configuration options added are: CONFIG_FSCACHE CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG The first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements enableable through the "debug" module parameter. The value of this parameter is a bitmask as described in: Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.

config FSCACHE
tristate "General filesystem local caching manager"
help
This option enables a generic filesystem caching manager that can be
used by various network and other filesystems to cache data locally.
Different sorts of caches can be plugged in, depending on the
resources available.
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
FS-Cache: Add use of /proc and presentation of statistics Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical information through it. Also provide the functions for updating this information. These features are enabled by: CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM The /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can add their own statistics there too. The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be examined by userspace: cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogram Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> Acked-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Tested-by: Daire Byrne <Daire.Byrne@framestore.com>

config FSCACHE_STATS
bool "Gather statistical information on local caching"
depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
help
This option causes statistical information to be gathered on local
caching and exported through file:
/proc/fs/fscache/stats
The gathering of statistics adds a certain amount of overhead to
execution as there are a quite a few stats gathered, and on a
multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep bouncing
between CPUs. On the other hand, the stats are very useful for
debugging purposes. Saying 'Y' here is recommended.
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
config FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM
bool "Gather latency information on local caching"
depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
help
This option causes latency information to be gathered on local
caching and exported through file:
/proc/fs/fscache/histogram
The generation of this histogram adds a certain amount of overhead to
execution as there are a number of points at which data is gathered,
and on a multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep
bouncing between CPUs. On the other hand, the histogram may be
useful for debugging purposes. Saying 'N' here is recommended.
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.

config FSCACHE_DEBUG
bool "Debug FS-Cache"
depends on FSCACHE
help
This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the local caching
management module. If this is set, the debugging output may be
enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/fscache/parameter/debug.
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
FS-Cache: Allow the current state of all objects to be dumped Allow the current state of all fscache objects to be dumped by doing: cat /proc/fs/fscache/objects By default, all objects and all fields will be shown. This can be restricted by adding a suitable key to one of the caller's keyrings (such as the session keyring): keyctl add user fscache:objlist "<restrictions>" @s The <restrictions> are: K Show hexdump of object key (don't show if not given) A Show hexdump of object aux data (don't show if not given) And paired restrictions: C Show objects that have a cookie c Show objects that don't have a cookie B Show objects that are busy b Show objects that aren't busy W Show objects that have pending writes w Show objects that don't have pending writes R Show objects that have outstanding reads r Show objects that don't have outstanding reads S Show objects that have slow work queued s Show objects that don't have slow work queued If neither side of a restriction pair is given, then both are implied. For example: keyctl add user fscache:objlist KB @s shows objects that are busy, and lists their object keys, but does not dump their auxiliary data. It also implies "CcWwRrSs", but as 'B' is given, 'b' is not implied. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

bool "Maintain global object list for debugging purposes"
depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
help
Maintain a global list of active fscache objects that can be
retrieved through /proc/fs/fscache/objects for debugging purposes
