EDMM's ioctl()s support batch operations, which may be

sgx_enclave_{ modify_types | restrict_permissions | remove_pages}
to give other tasks a chance to run, and avoid softlockup warning.

The following has been observed on Linux v6.9-rc5 with kernel
preemptions disabled(by configuring "PREEMPT_NONE=y"), when kernel
is requested to restrict page permissions of a large number of EPC pages.

------------[ end trace ]------------
Could you trim down the trace to only include the relevant part?

E.g., please at least remove the two register dumps at the beginning and
end of the trace.

Please refer to "Backtraces in commit messages" section in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst.


Thanks for your advice! I will refine the trace log according to the suggestions
in Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst. and highlight the related part.

You can remove the need_reshced() in all 3 places above but just call
cond_resched() directly.


Based on the the discussion among you, Jarkko and Reinette,
I will keep the need_resched() and wrap the logic in using sgx_resched(),
as suggested by Jarkko.

Bojun
