[PATCH v6] x86/sgx: Free backing memory after faulting the enclave page

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Thu Mar 03 2022 - 17:39:48 EST


There is a limited amount of SGX memory (EPC) on each system. When that
memory is used up, SGX has its own swapping mechanism which is similar
in concept but totally separate from the core mm/* code. Instead of
swapping to disk, SGX swaps from EPC to normal RAM. That normal RAM
comes from a shared memory pseudo-file and can itself be swapped by the
core mm code. There is a hierarchy like this:

EPC <-> shmem <-> disk

After data is swapped back in from shmem to EPC, the shmem backing
storage needs to be freed. Currently, the backing shmem is not freed.
This effectively wastes the shmem while the enclave is running. The
memory is recovered when the enclave is destroyed and the backing
storage freed.

Sort this out by freeing memory with shmem_truncate_range(), as soon as
a page is faulted back to the EPC. In addition, free the memory for
PCMD pages as soon as all PCMD's in a page have been marked as unused
by zeroing its contents.

v6:
* Re-applied on top of tip/x86/sgx and fixed the merge conflict, i.e.
sgx_encl_get_backing() instead of sgx_encl_lookup_backing().
v5:
* Encapsulated file offset calculation for PCMD struct.
* Replaced "magic number" PAGE_SIZE with sizeof(struct sgx_secs) to make
the offset calculation more self-documentative.
v4:
* Sanitized the offset calculations.
v3:
* Resend.
v2:
* Rewrite commit message as proposed by Dave.
* Truncate PCMD pages (Dave).
