| 6 | help |
| 7 | This option enables a generic filesystem caching manager that can be |
| 8 | used by various network and other filesystems to cache data locally. |
| 9 | Different sorts of caches can be plugged in, depending on the |
| 10 | resources available. |

| 17 | help |
| 18 | This option causes statistical information to be gathered on local |
| 19 | caching and exported through file: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | /proc/fs/fscache/stats |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The gathering of statistics adds a certain amount of overhead to |
| 24 | execution as there are a quite a few stats gathered, and on a |
| 25 | multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep bouncing |
| 26 | between CPUs. On the other hand, the stats are very useful for |
| 27 | debugging purposes. Saying 'Y' here is recommended. |

| 40 | The generation of this histogram adds a certain amount of overhead to |
| 41 | execution as there are a number of points at which data is gathered, |
| 42 | and on a multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep |
| 43 | bouncing between CPUs. On the other hand, the histogram may be |
| 44 | useful for debugging purposes. Saying 'N' here is recommended. |
