  			  General Filesystem Caching
  			  ==========================
  
  ========
  OVERVIEW
  ========
  
  This facility is a general purpose cache for network filesystems, though it
  could be used for caching other things such as ISO9660 filesystems too.
  
  FS-Cache mediates between cache backends (such as CacheFS) and network
  filesystems:
  
  	+---------+
  	|         |                        +--------------+
  	|   NFS   |--+                     |              |
  	|         |  |                 +-->|   CacheFS    |
  	+---------+  |   +----------+  |   |  /dev/hda5   |
  	             |   |          |  |   +--------------+
  	+---------+  +-->|          |  |
  	|         |      |          |--+
  	|   AFS   |----->| FS-Cache |
  	|         |      |          |--+
  	+---------+  +-->|          |  |
  	             |   |          |  |   +--------------+
  	+---------+  |   +----------+  |   |              |
  	|         |  |                 +-->|  CacheFiles  |
  	|  ISOFS  |--+                     |  /var/cache  |
  	|         |                        +--------------+
  	+---------+
  
  Or to look at it another way, FS-Cache is a module that provides a caching
  facility to a network filesystem such that the cache is transparent to the
  user:
  
  	+---------+
  	|         |
  	| Server  |
  	|         |
  	+---------+

  	+---------+      |          |
  	|         |      |          |
  	|   NFS   |----->| FS-Cache |

  FS-Cache does not follow the idea of completely loading every netfs file
  opened in its entirety into a cache before permitting it to be accessed and
  then serving the pages out of that cache rather than the netfs inode because:
  
   (1) It must be practical to operate without a cache.
  
   (2) The size of any accessible file must not be limited to the size of the
       cache.
  
   (3) The combined size of all opened files (this includes mapped libraries)
       must not be limited to the size of the cache.
  
   (4) The user should not be forced to download an entire file just to do a
       one-off access of a small portion of it (such as might be done with the
       "file" program).
  
  It instead serves the cache out in PAGE_SIZE chunks as and when requested by
  the netfs('s) using it.
  
  
  FS-Cache provides the following facilities:
  
   (1) More than one cache can be used at once.  Caches can be selected
       explicitly by use of tags.
  
   (2) Caches can be added / removed at any time.
  
   (3) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
       withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (2)).
  
   (4) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
       rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
  
   (5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
       netfs.  The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
       cached there.
  
   (6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
       desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
       recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
       indices.
  
   (7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages.  The netfs
       indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
       C, and that it should be read or written.  The cache backend may or may
       not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
       invoked to indicate completion.  The I/O may be either synchronous or
       asynchronous.
  
   (8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release.  At this point FS-Cache will mark
       them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
       recycled.
  
   (9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches.  In addition to
       saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
       entry should be updated or deleted.
  
  (10) As much as possible is done asynchronously.
  
  
  FS-Cache maintains a virtual indexing tree in which all indices, files, objects
  and pages are kept.  Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
  caches.

  In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS.  These
  have different index hierarchies:
  
   (*) The NFS primary index contains per-server indices.  Each server index is
       indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects.  Each data file
       objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
       objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries.  Extended
       attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
  
   (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices.  Each cell index contains
       per-logical-volume indices.  Each of volume index contains up to three
       indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
       Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
       array of pages.
  
  The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
  have entries.
  
  Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
  children.  Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
  reside in one cache.

  =======================
  STATISTICAL INFORMATION
  =======================
  
  If FS-Cache is compiled with the following options enabled:
  
  	CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS=y
  	CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM=y
  
  then it will gather certain statistics and display them through a number of
  proc files.
  
   (*) /proc/fs/fscache/stats
  
       This shows counts of a number of events that can happen in FS-Cache:

  	===== ===== ========= ========= ========= ========= =========
  
       This shows the breakdown of the number of times each amount of time
       between 0 jiffies and HZ-1 jiffies a variety of tasks took to run.  The
       columns are as follows:
  
  	COLUMN		TIME MEASUREMENT
  	=======		=======================================================
  	OBJ INST	Length of time to instantiate an object
  	OP RUNS		Length of time a call to process an operation took
  	OBJ RUNS	Length of time a call to process an object event took
  	RETRV DLY	Time between an requesting a read and lookup completing
  	RETRIEVLS	Time between beginning and end of a retrieval
  
       Each row shows the number of events that took a particular range of times.
       Each step is 1 jiffy in size.  The JIFS column indicates the particular
       jiffy range covered, and the SECS field the equivalent number of seconds.
  
  
  ===========
  OBJECT LIST
  ===========
  
  If CONFIG_FSCACHE_OBJECT_LIST is enabled, the FS-Cache facility will maintain a
  list of all the objects currently allocated and allow them to be viewed
  through:
  
  	/proc/fs/fscache/objects
  
  This will look something like:
  
  	[root@andromeda ~]# head /proc/fs/fscache/objects
  	OBJECT   PARENT   STAT CHLDN OPS OOP IPR EX READS EM EV F S | NETFS_COOKIE_DEF TY FL NETFS_DATA       OBJECT_KEY, AUX_DATA

  where the first set of columns before the '|' describe the object:
  
  	COLUMN	DESCRIPTION
  	=======	===============================================================
  	OBJECT	Object debugging ID (appears as OBJ%x in some debug messages)
  	PARENT	Debugging ID of parent object
  	STAT	Object state
  	CHLDN	Number of child objects of this object
  	OPS	Number of outstanding operations on this object
  	OOP	Number of outstanding child object management operations
  	IPR
  	EX	Number of outstanding exclusive operations
  	READS	Number of outstanding read operations
  	EM	Object's event mask
  	EV	Events raised on this object
  	F	Object flags
  	S	Object work item busy state mask (1:pending 2:running)
  
  and the second set of columns describe the object's cookie, if present:
  
  	COLUMN		DESCRIPTION
  	===============	=======================================================
  	NETFS_COOKIE_DEF Name of netfs cookie definition
  	TY		Cookie type (IX - index, DT - data, hex - special)
  	FL		Cookie flags
  	NETFS_DATA	Netfs private data stored in the cookie
  	OBJECT_KEY	Object key	} 1 column, with separating comma
  	AUX_DATA	Object aux data	} presence may be configured
  
  The data shown may be filtered by attaching the a key to an appropriate keyring
  before viewing the file.  Something like:
  
  		keyctl add user fscache:objlist <restrictions> @s
  
  where <restrictions> are a selection of the following letters:
  
  	K	Show hexdump of object key (don't show if not given)
  	A	Show hexdump of object aux data (don't show if not given)
  
  and the following paired letters:
  
  	C	Show objects that have a cookie
  	c	Show objects that don't have a cookie
  	B	Show objects that are busy
  	b	Show objects that aren't busy
  	W	Show objects that have pending writes
  	w	Show objects that don't have pending writes
  	R	Show objects that have outstanding reads
  	r	Show objects that don't have outstanding reads
  	S	Show objects that have work queued
  	s	Show objects that don't have work queued
  
  If neither side of a letter pair is given, then both are implied.  For example:
  
  	keyctl add user fscache:objlist KB @s
  
  shows objects that are busy, and lists their object keys, but does not dump
  their auxiliary data.  It also implies "CcWwRrSs", but as 'B' is given, 'b' is
  not implied.
  
  By default all objects and all fields will be shown.
  
  
  =========
  DEBUGGING
  =========
  
  If CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, the FS-Cache facility can have runtime
  debugging enabled by adjusting the value in:
  
  	/sys/module/fscache/parameters/debug
  
  This is a bitmask of debugging streams to enable:
  
  	BIT	VALUE	STREAM				POINT
  	=======	=======	===============================	=======================
  	0	1	Cache management		Function entry trace
  	1	2					Function exit trace
  	2	4					General
  	3	8	Cookie management		Function entry trace
  	4	16					Function exit trace
  	5	32					General
  	6	64	Page handling			Function entry trace
  	7	128					Function exit trace
  	8	256					General
  	9	512	Operation management		Function entry trace
  	10	1024					Function exit trace
  	11	2048					General
  
  The appropriate set of values should be OR'd together and the result written to
  the control file.  For example:
  
  	echo $((1|8|64)) >/sys/module/fscache/parameters/debug
  
  will turn on all function entry debugging.
