+config CACHEFILES
+ tristate "Filesystem caching on files"
+ depends on FSCACHE && BLOCK
+ help
+ This permits use of a mounted filesystem as a cache for other
+ filesystems - primarily networking filesystems - thus allowing fast
+ local disk to enhance the speed of slower devices.
+
+ See Documentation/filesystems/caching/cachefiles.txt for more
+ information.
+
+config CACHEFILES_DEBUG
+ bool "Debug CacheFiles"
+ depends on CACHEFILES
+ help
+ This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the filesystem
+ caching on files module. If this is set, the debugging output may be
+ enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/cachefiles/parameter/debug or
+ by including a debugging specifier in /etc/cachefilesd.conf.
+
+config CACHEFILES_HISTOGRAM
+ bool "Gather latency information on CacheFiles"
+ depends on CACHEFILES && PROC_FS
+ help
+
+ This option causes latency information to be gathered on CacheFiles
+ operation and exported through file:
+
+ /proc/fs/cachefiles/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/cachefiles.txt for more
+ information.
