I didn't look at the chages but i will say this one
more time. Limiting tmpfs size at fixed amount of
space will make the bug harder to reproduce but won't
fix it. The right hack is to limit tmpfs to be with
freepages.high less than available memory(swap+ram).
It won't be hard to code.
More, there is a big with parameter checking, then i
try to limit with nr_blocks i limit my tmpfs to
160Mpages. So put and sanity check.
