tristate "General filesystem local caching manager"
5
This option enables a generic filesystem caching manager that can be
6
used by various network and other filesystems to cache data locally.
7
Different sorts of caches can be plugged in, depending on the
10
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
13
bool "Gather statistical information on local caching"
14
depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
16
This option causes statistical information to be gathered on local
17
caching and exported through file:
19
/proc/fs/fscache/stats
21
The gathering of statistics adds a certain amount of overhead to
22
execution as there are a quite a few stats gathered, and on a
23
multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep bouncing
24
between CPUs. On the other hand, the stats are very useful for
25
debugging purposes. Saying 'Y' here is recommended.
27
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
29
config FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM
30
bool "Gather latency information on local caching"
31
depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
33
This option causes latency information to be gathered on local
34
caching and exported through file:
36
/proc/fs/fscache/histogram
38
The generation of this histogram adds a certain amount of overhead to
39
execution as there are a number of points at which data is gathered,
40
and on a multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep
41
bouncing between CPUs. On the other hand, the histogram may be
42
useful for debugging purposes. Saying 'N' here is recommended.
44
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
50
This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the local caching
51
management module. If this is set, the debugging output may be
52
enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/fscache/parameter/debug.
54
See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
56
config FSCACHE_OBJECT_LIST
57
bool "Maintain global object list for debugging purposes"
58
depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
60
Maintain a global list of active fscache objects that can be
61
retrieved through /proc/fs/fscache/objects for debugging purposes
