General Filesystem Caching

OVERVIEW
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This facility is a general purpose cache for network filesystems, though it
|
|
could be used for caching other things such as ISO9660 filesystems too.
|
|
|
|
FS-Cache mediates between cache backends (such as CacheFS) and network
|
|
filesystems:

|
|
|
|
Or to look at it another way, FS-Cache is a module that provides a caching
|
|
facility to a network filesystem such that the cache is transparent to the
|
|
user:

FS-Cache does not follow the idea of completely loading every netfs file
|
|
opened in its entirety into a cache before permitting it to be accessed and
|
|
then serving the pages out of that cache rather than the netfs inode because:
|
|
|
|
(1) It must be practical to operate without a cache.
|
|
|
|
(2) The size of any accessible file must not be limited to the size of the
|
|
cache.
|
|
|
|
(3) The combined size of all opened files (this includes mapped libraries)
|
|
must not be limited to the size of the cache.
|
|
|
|
(4) The user should not be forced to download an entire file just to do a
|
|
one-off access of a small portion of it (such as might be done with the
|
|
"file" program).
|
|
|
|
It instead serves the cache out in PAGE_SIZE chunks as and when requested by
|
|
the netfs('s) using it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FS-Cache provides the following facilities:
|
|
|
|
(1) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected
|
|
explicitly by use of tags.
|
|
|
|
(2) Caches can be added / removed at any time.
|
|
|
|
(3) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
|
|
withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (2)).
|
|
|
|
(4) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
|
|
rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
|
|
|
|
(5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
|
|
netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
|
|
cached there.
|
|
|
|
(6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
|
|
desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
|
|
recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
|
|
indices.
|
|
|
|
(7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs
|
|
indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
|
|
C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may
|
|
not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
|
|
invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
|
|
asynchronous.
|
|
|
|
(8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
|
|
them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
|
|
recycled.
|
|
|
|
(9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to
|
|
saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
|
|
entry should be updated or deleted.
|
|
|
|
(10) As much as possible is done asynchronously.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FS-Cache maintains a virtual indexing tree in which all indices, files, objects
|
|
and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
|
|
caches.

In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS. These
|
|
have different index hierarchies:
|
|
|
|
(*) The NFS primary index contains per-server indices. Each server index is
|
|
indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file
|
|
objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
|
|
objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended
|
|
attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
|
|
|
|
(*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
|
|
per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
|
|
indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
|
|
Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
|
|
array of pages.
|
|
|
|
The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
|
|
have entries.
|
|
|
|
Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
|
|
children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
|
|
reside in one cache.

STATISTICAL INFORMATION
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
If FS-Cache is compiled with the following options enabled:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS=y
|
|
CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM=y
|
|
|
|
then it will gather certain statistics and display them through a number of
|
|
proc files.

This shows counts of a number of events that can happen in FS-Cache:

COLUMN DESCRIPTION

|
|
OBJECT Object debugging ID (appears as OBJ%x in some debug messages)
|
|
PARENT Debugging ID of parent object
|
|

|
|
|

and the second set of columns describe the object's cookie, if present:
|
|
|
|
COLUMN DESCRIPTION
|
|
=============== =======================================================
|
|
NETFS_COOKIE_DEF Name of netfs cookie definition
|
|
TY Cookie type (IX - index, DT - data, hex - special)
|
|
FL Cookie flags
|
|
NETFS_DATA Netfs private data stored in the cookie
|
|
OBJECT_KEY Object key } 1 column, with separating comma
|
|
AUX_DATA Object aux data } presence may be configured
|
|
|
|
The data shown may be filtered by attaching the a key to an appropriate keyring
|
|
before viewing the file. Something like:
|
|
|
|
keyctl add user fscache:objlist <restrictions> @s
|
|
|
|
where <restrictions> are a selection of the following letters:
|
|
|
|
K Show hexdump of object key (don't show if not given)
|
|
A Show hexdump of object aux data (don't show if not given)
|
|
|
|
and the following paired letters:
|
|
|
|
C Show objects that have a cookie
|
|
c Show objects that don't have a cookie
|
|
B Show objects that are busy
|
|
b Show objects that aren't busy
|
|
W Show objects that have pending writes
|
|
w Show objects that don't have pending writes
|
|
R Show objects that have outstanding reads
|
|
r Show objects that don't have outstanding reads
|
|
S Show objects that have slow work queued
|
|
s Show objects that don't have slow work queued
|
|
|
|
If neither side of a letter pair is given, then both are implied. For example:
|
|
|
|
keyctl add user fscache:objlist KB @s
|
|
|
|
shows objects that are busy, and lists their object keys, but does not dump
|
|
their auxiliary data. It also implies "CcWwRrSs", but as 'B' is given, 'b' is
|
|
not implied.
|
|
|
|
By default all objects and all fields will be shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
DEBUGGING
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
If CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, the FS-Cache facility can have runtime
|
|
debugging enabled by adjusting the value in:
|
|
|
|
/sys/module/fscache/parameters/debug
|
|
|
|
This is a bitmask of debugging streams to enable:
|
|
|
|
BIT VALUE STREAM POINT
|
|

|

|
|
|
The appropriate set of values should be OR'd together and the result written to
|
|
the control file. For example:
|
|
|
|
echo $((1|8|64)) >/sys/module/fscache/parameters/debug
|
|
|
|
will turn on all function entry debugging.
