Could you explain why the devil do you bother with remount at all?
Why not pass the right options when mounting the damn thing?

... and while we are at it, I really wonder what's going on with
that gemfs thing - among the other things, this is the only
user of shmem_file_setup_with_mnt().  Sure, you want your own
options, but that brings another question - is there any reason
for having the huge=... per-superblock rather than per-file?

After all, the readers of ->huge in mm/shmem.c are
mm/shmem.c:582:     (shmem_huge == SHMEM_HUGE_FORCE || sbinfo->huge) &&
	is_huge_enabled(), sbinfo is an explicit argument

mm/shmem.c:1799:        switch (sbinfo->huge) {
	shmem_getpage_gfp(), sbinfo comes from inode

mm/shmem.c:2113:                if (SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge == SHMEM_HUGE_NEVER)
	shmem_get_unmapped_area(), sb comes from file

mm/shmem.c:3531:        if (sbinfo->huge)
mm/shmem.c:3532:                seq_printf(seq, ",huge=%s", shmem_format_huge(sbinfo->huge));
	->show_options()
mm/shmem.c:3880:        switch (sbinfo->huge) {
	shmem_huge_enabled(), sbinfo comes from an inode

And the only caller of is_huge_enabled() is shmem_getattr(), with sbinfo
picked from inode.

So is there any reason why the hugepage policy can't be per-file, with
the current being overridable default?

Incidentally, the only remaining modular user of get_fs_type() is the
same i915_gemfs.c.  And I wonder if we should aim for unexporting
the damn thing instead of exporting put_filesystem()...

Note that users in tomoyo and apparmor are bogus - they are in the
instances of ill-defined method that needs to be split and moved,
with the lookups (fs type included) replaced with callers passing
the values they look up and will end up using.

IOW, outside of core VFS we have very few legitimate users, and the
one in kernel/trace might be better off as vfs_submount_by_name().

I would redirect this question to i915 developers. As far as I know
i915 performance suffers with huge pages enabled.

> Why not pass the right options when mounting the damn thing?

vfs_kern_mount()? It still requires struct file_system_type, which
we need to get and put.

Yes: we want a default for how files of that superblock are to
allocate their pages, without people having to fcntl or advise
each of their files.

Setting aside the weirder options (within_size, advise) and emergency/
testing override (shmem_huge), we want files on an ordinary default
tmpfs (huge=never) to be allocated with small pages (so users with
access to that filesystem will not consume, and will not waste time
and space on consuming, the more valuable huge pages); but files on a
huge=always tmpfs to be allocated with huge pages whenever possible.

Or am I missing your point?  Yes, hugeness can certainly be decided
differently per-file, or even per-extent of file.  That is already
made possible through "judicious" use of madvise MADV_HUGEPAGE and
MADV_NOHUGEPAGE on mmaps of the file, carried over from anon THP.

Though personally I'm averse to managing "f"objects through
"m"interfaces, which can get ridiculous (notably, MADV_HUGEPAGE works
on the virtual address of a mapping, but the huge-or-not alignment of
that mapping must have been decided previously).  In Google we do use
fcntls F_HUGEPAGE and F_NOHUGEPAGE to override on a per-file basis -
one day I'll get to upstreaming those.

Such an interface seems very useful, although the two fcntls seem a bit
odd.

But I think the point here is that the i915 has its own somewhat odd
instance of tmpfs.  If we could pass the equivalent of the huge=*
options to shmem_file_setup all that garbage (including the
shmem_file_setup_with_mnt function) could go away.

That'd be nice - we could kill the i915 wierd private shmem instance,
along with some kludges in mm/shmem.c.

... or follow shmem_file_super() with whatever that fcntl maps to
internally.  I would really love to get rid of that i915 kludge.

As to the immediate problem of i915_gemfs using remount_fs on linux-next,
IIUC, all that is necessary at the moment is the deletions patch below
(but I'd prefer that to come from the i915 folks).  Since gemfs has no
need to change the huge option from its default to its default.

As to the future of when they get back to wanting huge pages in gemfs,
yes, that can probably best be arranged by using the internals of an
fcntl F_HUGEPAGE on those objects that would benefit from it.

Though my intention there was that the "huge=never" default ought
to continue to refuse to give huge pages, even when asked by fcntl.
So a little hackery may still be required, to allow the i915_gemfs
internal mount to get huge pages when a user mount would not.

As to whether shmem_file_setup_with_mnt() needs to live: I've given
that no thought, but accept that shm_mnt is such a ragbag of different
usages, that i915 is right to prefer their own separate gemfs mount.

That's perfectly fine; we should probably leave a hint as to why gemfs
exists and include the suggestion of looking at per-file hugepage
controls.

Matthew, how does this affect your current plans? If at all?
