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.rst for more information.

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.

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.

|
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.rst for more information.

config FSCACHE_OBJECT_LIST
|
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
