(patch 3). * Add flags argument for the syscall. (patch 3). * Clean up the recency refactoring (patch 2) (suggested by Yu Zhao) * Add the new Kconfig (CONFIG_CACHESTAT) to disable the syscall. (patch 3) (suggested by Josh Triplett) v2: * len == 0 means query to EOF. len < 0 is invalid. (patch 3) (suggested by Brian Foster) * Make cachestat extensible by adding the `cstat_size` argument in the syscall (patch 3) There is currently no good way to query the page cache state of large file sets and directory trees. There is mincore(), but it scales poorly: the kernel writes out a lot of bitmap data that userspace has to aggregate, when the user really doesn not care about per-page information in that case. The user also needs to mmap and unmap each file as it goes along, which can be quite slow as well. This series of patches introduces a new system call, cachestat, that summarizes the page cache statistics (number of cached pages, dirty pages, pages marked for writeback, evicted pages etc.) of a file, in a specified range of bytes. It also include a selftest suite that tests some typical usage This interface is inspired by past discussion and concerns with fincore, which has a similar design (and as a result, issues) as mincore.
