In current implementation of tmpfs, the size limit of a tmpfs (which is passed when mounting) only count the file size. The memory used for directories is not limit. This due to the fact that there is not easy and fast way to track a uma_zone's memory usage. there are several approach: 1. hack vm to support a hook when uma_zone allocate a new page. this approach comes from Rohit Jalan. This also need some new API in uma(9) uma_set_allocate_hook uma_set_deallocate_hook 2. Add a new API to uma(9) to report its memory usage. This will require traveling a link list inside uma_zone. uma_get_paged 3. Guess a file number limit based on size if use doesn't specific explict, or get the number user sepcified. Use the number limit instead of size limit to limit the memory usage. This doesn't need any changes to uma. Also the implementation is clean. I personally perfer way 3. Any suggestions? -- -Howard
