Implement the entry points by which a cache backend may initialise, add, declare an error upon and withdraw a cache. Further, an object is created in sysfs under which each cache added will get an object created: /sys/fs/fscache/<cachetag>/ All of this is described in Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt added by a previous patch.

Implement two features of FS-Cache: (1) The ability to request and release cache tags - names by which a cache may be known to a netfs, and thus selected for use. (2) An internal function by which a cache is selected by consulting the netfs, if the netfs wishes to be consulted.

Add a description of the root index of the cache for later patches to make use of. The root index is owned by FS-Cache itself. When a netfs requests caching facilities, FS-Cache will, if one doesn't already exist, create an entry in the root index with the key being the name of the netfs ("AFS" for example), and the auxiliary data holding the index structure version supplied by the netfs: FSDEF | +-----------+ | | NFS AFS [v=1] [v=1] If an entry with the appropriate name does already exist, the version is compared. If the version is different, the entire subtree from that entry will be discarded and a new entry created. The new entry will be an index, and a cookie referring to it will be passed to the netfs. This is then the root handle by which the netfs accesses the cache. It can create whatever objects it likes in that index, including further indices.

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: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: NSteve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> Acked-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Acked-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Tested-by: NDaire Byrne <Daire.Byrne@framestore.com>

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.
