Commit Message

By default, the backing shmem file for a restrictedmem fd is created
on shmem's kernel space mount.

With this patch, an optional tmpfs mount can be specified, which will
be used as the mountpoint for backing the shmem file associated with a
restrictedmem fd.

This change is modeled after how sys_open() can create an unnamed
temporary file in a given directory with O_TMPFILE.

This will help restrictedmem fds inherit the properties of the
provided tmpfs mounts, for example, hugepage allocation hints, NUMA
binding hints, etc.

I'm not sure what the right practice now: do we provide string that
contains mount path or fd that represents the filesystem (returned from
fsmount(2) or open_tree(2)).

fd seems more flexible: it allows to specify unbind mounts.

It would be nice if anyone from fs folks comment on this.

Let's first decide what the right direction is.
