[PATCH v6 2/2] tmpfs: Support 64-bit inums per-sb

From: Chris Down
Date: Mon Jul 13 2020 - 12:15:52 EST


The default is still set to inode32 for backwards compatibility, but
system administrators can opt in to the new 64-bit inode numbers by
either:

1. Passing inode64 on the command line when mounting, or
2. Configuring the kernel with CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y

The inode64 and inode32 names are used based on existing precedent from
XFS.

+tmpfs has a mount option to select whether it will wrap at 32- or 64-bit inode
+numbers:
+
+inode64 Use 64-bit inode numbers
+inode32 Use 32-bit inode numbers
+
+On 64-bit, the default is set by CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64. On 32-bit, inode64 is
+not legal and will produce an error at mount time.
+
So 'mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G,nr_inodes=10k,mode=700 tmpfs /mytmpfs'
will give you tmpfs instance on /mytmpfs which can allocate 10GB
RAM/SWAP in 10240 inodes and it is only accessible by root.
