The kernel patches that were in the earlier 5.x kernels are now a bit out-of-date and IMHO not really suitable for production use. There has recently been a number of new FS-Cache patches/improvements that will be in the 2.6.32 mainline kernel I doubt FS-Cache will be back in future 5.x kernels - my guess is that it will be in the 6.x kernels James Pearson
