Hello, This patchset builds upon the memfd_restricted() system call that has been discussed in the ‘KVM: mm: fd-based approach for supporting KVM’ patch series, at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221202061347.1070246-1-chao.p.peng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#m7e944d7892afdd1d62a03a287bd488c56e377b0c The tree can be found at: https://github.com/googleprodkernel/linux-cc/tree/restrictedmem-provide-mount-path In this patchset, a modification to the memfd_restricted() syscall is proposed, which allows userspace to provide a mount, on which the file will be created and returned from the memfd_restricted(). Allowing userspace to provide a mount allows userspace to control various memory binding policies via tmpfs mount options, such as Transparent HugePage memory allocation policy through ‘huge=always/never’ and NUMA memory allocation policy through ‘mpol=local/bind:*’.
