In mobile case, it provides two warning messages when it remains 5% and 0.1% respectively. to achieve it, some daemon call statfs periodically. right it's inefficient. that's reason we need some notification method from filesystem. tmpfs is different story. some malicious app fills tmpfs then system goes slow. so it has to check it periodically. to avoid it, this patch is developed and want to get feedback. we considered quota but it's not desired one. other can't write tmpfs even though it has 20% remaining.
