2009-04-03	FS-Cache: Add use of /proc and presentation of statistics	David Howells	1	-0/+7
	Make FS-Cache create its /proc interface and present various statistical information through it. Also provide the functions for updating this information. These features are enabled by: CONFIG_FSCACHE_PROC CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM The /proc directory for FS-Cache is also exported so that caching modules can add their own statistics there too. The FS-Cache module is loadable at this point, and the statistics files can be examined by userspace: cat /proc/fs/fscache/stats cat /proc/fs/fscache/histogram Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> Acked-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Tested-by: Daire Byrne <Daire.Byrne@framestore.com>
2009-04-03	FS-Cache: Add main configuration option, module entry points and debugging	David Howells	1	-0/+75
	Add the main configuration option, allowing FS-Cache to be selected; the module entry and exit functions and the debugging stuff used by these patches. The two configuration options added are: CONFIG_FSCACHE CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG The first enables the facility, and the second makes the debugging statements enableable through the "debug" module parameter. The value of this parameter is a bitmask as described in: Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt The module can be loaded at this point, but all it will do at this point in the patch series is to start up the slow work facility and shut it down again.
