+None of the quota related mount options can be set or changed on remount.
+
+Quota limit parameters accept a suffix k, m or g for kilo, mega and giga
+and can't be changed on remount. Default global quota limits are taking
+effect for any and all user/group/project except root the first time the
+quota entry for user/group/project id is being accessed - typically the
+first time an inode with a particular id ownership is being created after
+the mount. In other words, instead of the limits being initialized to zero,
+they are initialized with the particular value provided with these mount
+options. The limits can be changed for any user/group id at any time as they
+normally can be.
+
+Note that tmpfs quotas do not support user namespaces so no uid/gid
+translation is done if quotas are enabled inside user namespaces.

tmpfs has a mount option to set the NUMA memory allocation policy for
all files in that instance (if CONFIG_NUMA is enabled) - which can be
adjusted on the fly via 'mount -o remount ...'
