SGX EPC memory allocations are separate from normal RAM allocations, and is
managed solely by the SGX subsystem. The existing cgroup memory controller
cannot be used to limit or account for SGX EPC memory, which is a desirable
feature in some environments, e.g., support for pod level control in a
Kubernates cluster on a VM or baremetal host [1,2] in those environments.
This patchset implements the support for sgx_epc memory within the misc
cgroup controller. The user can use the misc cgroup controller to set and
enforce a max limit on total EPC usage per cgroup. The implementation
reports current usage and events of reaching the limit per cgroup as well
as the total system capacity.
This work was originally authored by Sean Christopherson a few years ago,
and previously modified by Kristen C. Accardi to work with more recent
kernels, and to utilize the misc cgroup controller rather than a custom
controller. Now I updated the patches based on review comments on the V2
series[3], simplified a few aspects of the implementation/design and fixed
some stability issues found from testing, while keeping the same user space
facing interfaces.
The patchset adds support for multiple LRUs to track both reclaimable EPC
pages (i.e. pages the reclaimer knows about), as well as unreclaimable EPC
pages (i.e. pages which the reclaimer isn't aware of, such as VA pages).
These pages are assigned to an LRU, as well as an enclave, so that an
enclave's full EPC usage can be tracked, and limited to a max value. During
OOM events, an enclave can be have its memory zapped, and all the EPC pages
not tracked by the reclaimer can be freed.
I appreciate your comments and feedback.
Summary of changes from v2: (more details in commit logs)
* Added EPC states to replace flags in sgx_epc_page struct. (Jarkko)
* Unrolled wrappers for cond_resched, list (Dave)
* Separate patches for adding reclaimable and unreclaimable lists. (Dave)
* Other improvments on patch flow, commit messages, styles. (Dave, Jarkko)
* Simplified the cgroup tree walking with plain
css_for_each_descendant_pre.
* Fixed race conditions and crashes.
* OOM killer to wait for the victim enclave pages being reclaimed.
* Unblock the user by handling misc_max_write callback asynchronously.
* Rebased onto 6.4 and no longer base this series on the MCA patchset.
* Fix an overflow in misc_try_charge.
* Fix a NULL pointer in SGX PF handler.
* Updated and included the SGX selftest patches previously reviewed. Those
patches fix issues triggered in high EPC pressure required for cgroup
testing.
* Added test scripts to help setup and test SGX EPC cgroups.

Thanks for taking the effort, must have been tedious!

Nit: You missed emailing the cover letter to [email protected]. I think a
few other people included in the individual patches are also missing in
the cover letter.
In general, it might be useful to keep the email list consistent across
the cover letter and the individual patches.

Thanks
I'll change to use the same set of lists and addresses for all patches and
cover letters in next version.
