* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-2.6-fscache: (31 commits) FS-Cache: Provide nop fscache_stat_d() if CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS=n SLOW_WORK: Fix GFS2 to #include <linux/module.h> before using THIS_MODULE SLOW_WORK: Fix CIFS to pass THIS_MODULE to slow_work_register_user() CacheFiles: Don't log lookup/create failing with ENOBUFS CacheFiles: Catch an overly long wait for an old active object CacheFiles: Better showing of debugging information in active object problems CacheFiles: Mark parent directory locks as I_MUTEX_PARENT to keep lockdep happy CacheFiles: Handle truncate unlocking the page we're reading CacheFiles: Don't write a full page if there's only a partial page to cache FS-Cache: Actually requeue an object when requested FS-Cache: Start processing an object's operations on that object's death FS-Cache: Make sure FSCACHE_COOKIE_LOOKING_UP cleared on lookup failure FS-Cache: Add a retirement stat counter FS-Cache: Handle pages pending storage that get evicted under OOM conditions FS-Cache: Handle read request vs lookup, creation or other cache failure FS-Cache: Don't delete pending pages from the page-store tracking tree FS-Cache: Fix lock misorder in fscache_write_op() FS-Cache: The object-available state can't rely on the cookie to be available FS-Cache: Permit cache retrieval ops to be interrupted in the initial wait phase FS-Cache: Use radix tree preload correctly in tracking of pages to be stored ...

+If CONFIG_FSCACHE_OBJECT_LIST is enabled, the FS-Cache facility will maintain a
+list of all the objects currently allocated and allow them to be viewed
+through:
+
+ /proc/fs/fscache/objects
+
+This will look something like:

+ STAT Object state
+ CHLDN Number of child objects of this object

+ EM Object's event mask

+
+ 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.
