+config FSCACHE
+	tristate "General filesystem local caching manager"
+	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
+	select SLOW_WORK
+	help
+	  This option enables a generic filesystem caching manager that can be
+	  used by various network and other filesystems to cache data locally.
+	  Different sorts of caches can be plugged in, depending on the
+	  resources available.
+
+	  See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_STATS
+	bool "Gather statistical information on local caching"
+	depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
+	help
+	  This option causes statistical information to be gathered on local
+	  caching and exported through file:
+
+		/proc/fs/fscache/stats
+
+	  The gathering of statistics adds a certain amount of overhead to
+	  execution as there are a quite a few stats gathered, and on a
+	  multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep bouncing
+	  between CPUs.  On the other hand, the stats are very useful for
+	  debugging purposes.  Saying 'Y' here is recommended.
+
+	  See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM
+	bool "Gather latency information on local caching"
+	depends on FSCACHE && PROC_FS
+	help
+	  This option causes latency information to be gathered on local
+	  caching and exported through file:
+
+		/proc/fs/fscache/histogram
+
+	  The generation of this histogram adds a certain amount of overhead to
+	  execution as there are a number of points at which data is gathered,
+	  and on a multi-CPU system these may be on cachelines that keep
+	  bouncing between CPUs.  On the other hand, the histogram may be
+	  useful for debugging purposes.  Saying 'N' here is recommended.
+
+	  See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
+
+config FSCACHE_DEBUG
+	bool "Debug FS-Cache"
+	depends on FSCACHE
+	help
+	  This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the local caching
+	  management module.  If this is set, the debugging output may be
+	  enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/fscache/parameter/debug.
+
+	  See Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt for more information.
