Report the current encoding > and casefolding flags in /proc/mounts This works for me, on 90ddfbd19636 (akpm/mm-unstable), x86_64, CONFIG_UNICODE=y: # mount -t tmpfs -o casefold tmpfs /t # grep /t /proc/mounts tmpfs /t tmpfs rw,relatime,casefold=utf8-12.1.0 0 0 Tested-by: Mohammed EL Kadiri Heads-up on one side effect, since mount(8) builds its remount options from /proc/mounts: once casefold= is listed there, it gets passed back on every remount. # mount -t tmpfs -o casefold tmpfs /t [ 527.593309] tmpfs: Using encoding : utf8-12.1.0 # mount -o remount,size=64M /t [ 527.595716] tmpfs: Using encoding : utf8-12.1.0 That second line is shmem_parse_opt_casefold() running on a remount that only asked to change size. It calls utf8_load() each time, and nothing frees the result - shmem_reconfigure() doesn't look at ctx->encoding and shmem_free_fc() doesn't unload it. 50000 such remounts grew kmalloc-32 by ~50000 objects; a tmpfs without casefold stays flat. The leak predates this patch - you can trigger it by passing casefold= on a remount by hand - so I sent the fix as a separate patch: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ba38f80f629fd093c77f3a49fdab7b71ee7bbc5f.1790687276.git.med08elkadiri@gmail.com/
