You can reduce the number of if statements to make the logic
simpler. Something like

if (!indirect)
return __sgx_encl_get_backing(encl, page_index, backing);

encl_memcg = sgx_encl_get_mem_cgroup(encl);
memcg = set_active_memcg(encl_memcg);
ret = __sgx_encl_get_backing(encl, page_index, backing);
set_active_memcg(memcg);
mem_cgroup_put(encl_memcg);

return ret;

Yes, will do.
Thanks
