[PATCH] hugetlbfs: specify size & inodes at mount

From: "Seth, Rohit" <rohit.seth@intel.com>

- Add support for setting the filesystem's maximum size and maximum inode
  count on the mount command line.

  This is needed because the system admin can now set the ownership of teh
  fs to non-root users.  We don't want those users to be able to use all of
  the hugepage pool.

- Prroperly update the inode creation/modification time.

- Set the blocksize to HPAGE_SIZE (instead of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE).

- Update Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt.

type hugetlbfs:
mount none /mnt/huge -t hugetlbfs <uid=value> <gid=value> <mode=value>
<size=value> <nr_inodes=value>
This command mounts a (pseudo) filesystem of type hugetlbfs on the directory
/mnt/huge. Any files created on /mnt/huge uses hugepages. The uid and gid
options sets the owner and group of the root of the file system. By default
the uid and gid of the current process are taken. The mode option sets the
mode of root of file system to value & 0777. This value is given in octal.
By default the value 0755 is picked. An example is given at the end of this
document.
By default the value 0755 is picked. The size option sets the maximum value of
memory (huge pages) allowed for that filesystem (/mnt/huge). The size is
rounded down to HPAGE_SIZE. The option nr_inode sets the maximum number of
inodes that /mnt/huge can use. If the size or nr_inode options are not
provided on command line then no limits are set. For size and nr_inodes
options, you can use [G|g]/[M|m]/[K|k] to represent giga/mega/kilo. For
example, size=2K has the same meaning as size=2048. An example is given at
the end of this document.
read and write system calls are not supported on files that reside on hugetlb
file systems.
