It provides access to the in-memory file cache.
To list an index of all cached files:
echo -n index > /proc/filecache
cat /proc/filecache
The output looks like:
# filecache 1.0
# ino size cached cached% state refcnt dev file

To list the cached pages of a perticular file:
echo -n /bin/bash > /proc/filecache
cat /proc/filecache
# file /bin/bash

To instruct the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory,
causing that memory to become free:
# drop clean file data cache (i.e. file backed pagecache)
echo drop data > /proc/filecache
# drop clean file metadata cache (i.e. dentries and inodes)
echo drop metadata > /proc/filecache

+Careful users may notice that the file name to be queried is remembered between
+commands. Internally, the module has a global variable to store the file name
+parameter, so that it can be inherited by newly opened /proc/filecache file.
+However it can lead to interference for multiple queriers. The solution here
+is to obey a rule: only root can interactively change the file name parameter;
+normal users must go for scripts to access the interface. Scripts should do it
+by following the code example below:
+
+ filecache = open("/proc/filecache", "rw");
+ # avoid polluting the global parameter filename
+ filecache.write("private session");
+
+To instruct the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory,

+ # drop clean file data cache (i.e. file backed pagecache)
+ echo drop data > /proc/filecache
+
+ # drop clean file metadata cache (i.e. dentries and inodes)
+ echo drop metadata > /proc/filecache
+
+Note that the drop commands are non-destructive operations and dirty objects
+are not freeable, the user should run `sync' first.
