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@linux.intel.com/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:*’.

Dependencies:
+ Sean’s iteration of the ‘KVM: mm: fd-based approach for supporting
  KVM’ patch series at
  https://github.com/sean-jc/linux/tree/x86/upm_base_support
+ Proposed fixes for these issues mentioned on the mailing list:
    + https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/diqzzga0fv96.fsf@ackerleytng-cloudtop-sg.c.googlers.com/

Future work/TODOs:
+ man page for the memfd_restricted() syscall
+ Support for per file Transparent HugePage allocation hints
+ Support for per file NUMA binding hints
