Subject: [PATCH 3/4] cachestat: implement cachestat syscall
Implement a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in
a given range.
NAME
cachestat - query the page cache status of a file.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
struct cachestat {
unsigned long nr_cache;
unsigned long nr_dirty;
unsigned long nr_writeback;
unsigned long nr_evicted;
unsigned long nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, off_t off, size_t len,
struct cachestat *cstat);
DESCRIPTION
cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of (recently)
evicted pages, in the bytes range given by `off` and `len`.
These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
given by the `cstat` argument.
The `off` argument must be a non-negative integers, If `off` + `len`
>= `off`, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. Otherwise, we
will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
RETURN VALUE
On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
EFAULT cstat points to an invalid address.
EINVAL `off` is negative.
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
