Count the data storage objects that are currently allocated in a cache.
This is used to pin certain cache structures until cache withdrawal is
complete.
Three helpers are provided to manage and make use of the count:
(1) void fscache_count_object(struct fscache_cache *cache);
This should be called by the cache backend to note that an object has
been allocated and attached to the cache.
(2) void fscache_uncount_object(struct fscache_cache *cache);
This should be called by the backend to note that an object has been
destroyed. This sends a wakeup event that allows cache withdrawal to
proceed if it was waiting for that object.
(3) void fscache_wait_for_objects(struct fscache_cache *cache);
This can be used by the backend to wait for all outstanding cache
object to be destroyed.
Each cache's counter is displayed as part of /proc/fs/fscache/caches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
