5 depends on FSCACHE && BLOCK
6 help
7 This permits use of a mounted filesystem as a cache for other
8 filesystems - primarily networking filesystems - thus allowing fast
9 local disk to enhance the speed of slower devices.

16 depends on CACHEFILES
17 help
18 This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the filesystem
19 caching on files module. If this is set, the debugging output may be
20 enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/cachefiles/parameter/debug or
21 by including a debugging specifier in /etc/cachefilesd.conf.

23config CACHEFILES_HISTOGRAM

26 help
27
28 This option causes latency information to be gathered on CacheFiles
29 operation and exported through file:
30
31 /proc/fs/cachefiles/histogram
32
33 The generation of this histogram adds a certain amount of overhead to
34 execution as there are a number of points at which data is gathered,
35 and on a multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep
36 bouncing between CPUs. On the other hand, the histogram may be
37 useful for debugging purposes. Saying 'N' here is recommended.

35 This permits userspace to enable the cachefiles on-demand read mode.
36 In this mode, when a cache miss occurs, responsibility for fetching
37 the data lies with the cachefiles backend instead of with the netfs
38 and is delegated to userspace.
