[PATCH v14 12/14] x86/sgx: Turn on per-cgroup EPC reclamation

From: Haitao Huang
Date: Fri May 31 2024 - 18:29:28 EST


From: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Previous patches have implemented all infrastructure needed for
per-cgroup EPC page tracking and reclaiming. But all reclaimable EPC
pages are still tracked in the global LRU as sgx_epc_page_lru() always
returns reference to the global LRU.

Change sgx_epc_page_lru() to return the LRU of the cgroup in which the
given EPC page is allocated.

This makes all EPC pages tracked in per-cgroup LRUs and the global
reclaimer (ksgxd) will not be able to reclaim any pages from the global
LRU. However, in cases of over-committing, i.e., the sum of cgroup
limits greater than the total capacity, cgroups may never reclaim but
the total usage can still be near the capacity. Therefore a global
reclamation is still needed in those cases and it should be performed
from the root cgroup.

Modify sgx_reclaim_pages_global(), to reclaim from the root EPC cgroup
when cgroup is enabled. Similar to sgx_cgroup_reclaim_pages(), return
the next cgroup so callers can use it as the new starting node for next
round of reclamation if needed.

Also update sgx_can_reclaim_global(), to check emptiness of LRUs of all
cgroups when EPC cgroup is enabled, otherwise only check the global LRU.

Finally, change sgx_reclaim_direct(), to check and ensure there are free
pages at cgroup level so forward progress can be made by the caller.

With these changes, the global reclamation and per-cgroup reclamation
both work properly with all pages tracked in per-cgroup LRUs.

V14:
- Update global reclamation to use the new sgx_cgroup_reclaim_pages() to
iterate cgroups at lower level if the top cgroups are too busy.

V13:
- Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC) in sgx_can_reclaim_global(). (Kai)

V12:
- Remove CONFIG_CGROUP_SGX_EPC, conditional compile SGX Cgroup for
CONFIGCONFIG_CGROUPMISC. (Jarkko)

V11:
- Reword the comments for global reclamation for allocation failure
after passing cgroup charging. (Kai)
- Add stub functions to remove ifdefs in c file (Kai)
- Add more detailed comments to clarify each page belongs to one cgroup, or the
root. (Kai)

V10:
- Add comment to clarify each page belongs to one cgroup, or the root by
default. (Kai)
- Merge the changes that expose sgx_cgroup_* functions to this patch.
- Add changes for sgx_reclaim_direct() that was missed previously.

V7:
- Split this out from the big patch, #10 in V6. (Dave, Kai)
