Based on discussions (e.g. in [1]) my understanding of cachefiles and the cachefiles userspace daemon is that it creates a cache on a local filesystem (e.g. ext4, xfs etc.) for a network filesystem. The way this is done is by writing "bind" to /dev/cachefiles and pointing it to the directory to use as the cache. Currently this directory can technically also be an idmapped mount but cachefiles aren't yet fully aware of such mounts and thus don't take the idmapping into account when creating cache entries. This could leave users confused as the ownership of the files wouldn't match to what they expressed in the idmapping. Block cache files on idmapped mounts until the fscache rework is done and we have ported it to support idmapped mounts.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
