+config FSCACHE
+ tristate "General filesystem local caching manager"
+ help
+ This option enables a generic filesystem caching manager that can be
+ used by various network and other filesystems to cache data locally.
+ Different sorts of caches can be plugged in, depending on the
+ resources available.
+
+ See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_STATS
+ bool "Gather statistical information on local caching"
+ depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
+ help
+ This option causes statistical information to be gathered on local
+ caching and exported through file:
+
+ /proc/fs/fscache/stats
+
+ The gathering of statistics adds a certain amount of overhead to
+ execution as there are a quite a few stats gathered, and on a
+ multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep bouncing
+ between CPUs. On the other hand, the stats are very useful for
+ debugging purposes. Saying 'Y' here is recommended.
+
+ See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM
+ bool "Gather latency information on local caching"
+ depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
+ help
+ This option causes latency information to be gathered on local
+ caching and exported through file:
+
+ /proc/fs/fscache/histogram
+
+ The generation of this histogram adds a certain amount of overhead to
+ execution as there are a number of points at which data is gathered,
+ and on a multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep
+ bouncing between CPUs. On the other hand, the histogram may be
+ useful for debugging purposes. Saying 'N' here is recommended.
+
+ See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_DEBUG
+ bool "Debug FS-Cache"
+ depends on FSCACHE
+ help
+ This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the local caching
+ management module. If this is set, the debugging output may be
+ enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/fscache/parameter/debug.
+
+ See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_OBJECT_LIST
+ bool "Maintain global object list for debugging purposes"
+ depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
+ help
+ Maintain a global list of active fscache objects that can be
+ retrieved through /proc/fs/fscache/objects for debugging purposes
