[PATCH V5 3/8] Cleancache: core ops functions and configuration
Cleancache core ops functions and configuration
Credits: Cleancache_ops design derived from Jeremy Fitzhardinge
design for tmem; sysfs code modelled after mm/ksm.c
Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE defaults to on; all hooks devolve
to a compare-function-pointer-to-NULL so performance impact should
be negligible, but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.

+ help
+ Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
+ for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
+ (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
+ memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to put
+ it into a synchronous concurrency-safe page-oriented pseudo-RAM
+ device (such as Xen's Transcendent Memory, aka "tmem") which is not
+ directly accessible or addressable by the kernel and is of unknown
+ (and possibly time-varying) size. And when a cleancache-enabled
+ filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
+ checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
+ the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
+ When a pseudo-RAM device is available, a significant I/O reduction
+ may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
+ are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
+ in a negligible performance hit.
+
+ If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
