There can be cases when there are more memory regions that need to be
set for an enclave than the maximum supported number of memory regions
per enclave. One example can be when the memory regions are backed by 2
MiB hugepages (the minimum supported hugepage size).

Let's merge the adjacent regions if they are physical contiguous. This
way the final number of memory regions is less than before merging and
could potentially avoid reaching maximum.

Please add the changelog for each of the patches in the series, in
addition to the one in the cover letter.

Also please start the commit titles for all the patches with upper-case
letter e.g. nitro_enclaves: Merge contiguous physical memory regions


OK, thanks.

Let's have a single data structure here instead of two, since they are
not used separately, they come altogether. For example:

struct ne_phys_contig_mem_regions {
unsigned long num;
u64 *paddr;
u64 *size;
};


I agree that the 'struct phys_mem_region' should be removed, but originally
I want to use 'struct range' instead, because 'paddr' and 'size' should be
used in pairs and we can see there're several cases in kernel that use 'range'
to manage their memory regions. Would this be acceptable to you ?

If there is about this "struct range" [1], then yes, let's see how that would work. Then would be physical addresses ranges and could calculate the physical contig memory region size based on the range start and end.

Thanks,
Andra

And then can allocate memory for "paddr" and "size" using "max_nr_pages"
from the "ne_set_user_memory_region_ioctl" logic.

Please add a comment before the function signature, similar to the other
existing functions, including a brief description of the function, the
parameters and the return value.

Could be "ne_merge_phys_contig_memory_regions" and specifically mention
"page_paddr" and "page_size", instead of "paddr" and "size".


OK, will do.
