Subject: [PATCH v3 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 {
__u64 nr_cache;
__u64 nr_dirty;
__u64 nr_writeback;
__u64 nr_evicted;
__u64 nr_recently_evicted;
};
int cachestat(unsigned int fd, off_t off, size_t len,
size_t cstat_size, struct cachestat *cstat,
unsigned int flags);
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` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
`len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.
`cstat_size` allows users to obtain partial results. The syscall
will copy the first `csstat_size` bytes to the specified userspace
memory. `cstat_size` must be a non-negative value that is no larger
than the current size of the cachestat struct.
The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).
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 invalid `cstat_size` or `flags`
EBADF invalid file descriptor.
