*	FS-Cache: Add use of /proc and presentation of statistics	David Howells	2009-04-03
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	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: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> Acked-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Acked-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Tested-by: Daire Byrne <Daire.Byrne@framestore.com>
*	FS-Cache: Add the FS-Cache cache backend API and documentation	David Howells	2009-04-03
	Add the API for a generic facility (FS-Cache) by which caches may declare them selves open for business, and may obtain work to be done from network filesystems. The header file is included by: #include <linux/fscache-cache.h> Documentation for the API is also added to: Documentation/filesystems/caching/backend-api.txt This API is not usable without the implementation of the utility functions which will be added in further patches.
