+config CACHEFILES
+	tristate "Filesystem caching on files"
+	depends on FSCACHE && BLOCK
+	help
+	  This permits use of a mounted filesystem as a cache for other
+	  filesystems - primarily networking filesystems - thus allowing fast
+	  local disk to enhance the speed of slower devices.
+
+	  See Documentation/filesystems/caching/cachefiles.rst for more
+	  information.
+
+config CACHEFILES_DEBUG
+	bool "Debug CacheFiles"
+	depends on CACHEFILES
+	help
+	  This permits debugging to be dynamically enabled in the filesystem
+	  caching on files module.  If this is set, the debugging output may be
+	  enabled by setting bits in /sys/modules/cachefiles/parameter/debug or
+	  by including a debugging specifier in /etc/cachefilesd.conf.
