What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/unregister
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
A write to this file causes the backing device or cache to be
unregistered. If a backing device had dirty data in the cache,
writeback mode is automatically disabled and all dirty data is
flushed before the device is unregistered. Caches unregister
all associated backing devices before unregistering themselves.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/clear_stats
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
Writing to this file resets all the statistics for the device.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/cache
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a backing device that has cache, a symlink to
the bcache/ dir of that cache.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/cache_hits
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: integer number of full cache hits,
counted per bio. A partial cache hit counts as a miss.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/cache_misses
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: integer number of cache misses.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/cache_hit_ratio
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: cache hits as a percentage.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/sequential_cutoff
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: Threshold past which sequential IO will
skip the cache. Read and written as bytes in human readable
units (i.e. echo 10M > sequntial_cutoff).
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/bypassed
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
Sum of all reads and writes that have bypassed the cache (due
to the sequential cutoff). Expressed as bytes in human
readable units.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: When on, writeback caching is enabled and
writes will be buffered in the cache. When off, caching is in
writethrough mode; reads and writes will be added to the
cache but no write buffering will take place.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback_running
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: when off, dirty data will not be written
from the cache to the backing device. The cache will still be
used to buffer writes until it is mostly full, at which point
writes transparently revert to writethrough mode. Intended only
for benchmarking/testing.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback_delay
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: In writeback mode, when dirty data is
written to the cache and the cache held no dirty data for that
backing device, writeback from cache to backing device starts
after this delay, expressed as an integer number of seconds.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/writeback_percent
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For backing devices: If nonzero, writeback from cache to
backing device only takes place when more than this percentage
of the cache is used, allowing more write coalescing to take
place and reducing total number of writes sent to the backing
device. Integer between 0 and 40.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/synchronous
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, a boolean that allows synchronous mode to be
switched on and off. In synchronous mode all writes are ordered
such that the cache can reliably recover from unclean shutdown;
if disabled bcache will not generally wait for writes to
complete but if the cache is not shut down cleanly all data
will be discarded from the cache. Should not be turned off with
writeback caching enabled.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/discard
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, a boolean allowing discard/TRIM to be turned off
or back on if the device supports it.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/bucket_size
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, bucket size in human readable units, as set at
cache creation time; should match the erase block size of the
SSD for optimal performance.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/nbuckets
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, the number of usable buckets.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/tree_depth
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, height of the btree excluding leaf nodes (i.e. a
one node tree will have a depth of 0).
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/btree_cache_size
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
Number of btree buckets/nodes that are currently cached in
memory; cache dynamically grows and shrinks in response to
memory pressure from the rest of the system.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/written
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, total amount of data in human readable units
written to the cache, excluding all metadata.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/bcache/btree_written
Date: November 2010
Contact: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com>
Description:
For a cache, sum of all btree writes in human readable units.
