For memfd_restricted() calls without a userspace mount, the backing

If a userspace mount is provided, the size of backing pages should be
as defined in the mount.

Also includes negative tests for invalid inputs, including fds
representing read-only superblocks/mounts.


When you talk about "hugepage" in this patch, do you mean THP or
hugetlb? I suspect thp, so it might be better to spell that out. IIRC,
there are plans to support actual huge pages in the future, at which
point "hugepage" terminology could be misleading.


Thanks for pointing this out! I've replaced references to hugepage with
thp, please see RFC v4 at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1681176340.git.ackerleytng@xxxxxxxxxx/T/
