tristate "General filesystem local caching manager"
fscache, cachefiles: Add alternate API to use kiocb for read/write to cache Add an alternate API by which the cache can be accessed through a kiocb, doing async DIO, rather than using the current API that tells the cache where all the pages are. The new API is intended to be used in conjunction with the netfs helper library. A filesystem must pick one or the other and not mix them. Filesystems wanting to use the new API must #define FSCACHE_USE_NEW_IO_API before #including the header. This prevents them from continuing to use the old API at the same time as there are incompatibilities in how the PG_fscache page bit is used. Changes: v6: - Provide a routine to shape a write so that the start and length can be aligned for DIO[3]. v4: - Use the vfs_iocb_iter_read/write() helpers[1] - Move initial definition of fscache_begin_read_operation() here. - Remove a commented-out line[2] - Combine ki->term_func calls in cachefiles_read_complete()[2]. - Remove explicit NULL initialiser[2]. - Remove extern on func decl[2]. - Put in param names on func decl[2]. - Remove redundant else[2]. - Fill out the kdoc comment for fscache_begin_read_operation(). - Rename fs/fscache/page2.c to io.c to match later patches.

select NETFS_SUPPORT
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
select NETFS_STATS
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.rst 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.rst for more information.
