Public bug reported:

After using a tmpfs mount for a while it starts reporting that it is
almost full and become unusable.

$ mount ; df ; sudo ls -alR /tmp/test/

<snip>
none on /tmp/test type tmpfs (rw,uid=1000,gid=1000)
none on /home/ken/.wine type aufs (rw,br:/tmp/test:/home/ken/.wine.dotnet20)

As you should be able to see the tmpfs mount on /tmp/test claims to be
using ~900 MB but it's really only using a few bytes. It works perfectly
for a while but then does this.

I have been using the mount with aufs and the copy-on-write files are
stored here. Since starting this report the "used" amount has dropped
around 20 MB but there's no reason for this. There is no longer anything
running that would use this directory.

Nothing seems relevant in dmesg or the syslog.

I don't know how to debug further.

I will check the upstream kernel, but this is likely to cause other
problems and will probably be difficult to recreate. I will report back
once I know.
