[PATCH v3 08/28] x86/sgx: Introduce RECLAIM_IN_PROGRESS state

From: Haitao Huang
Date: Wed Jul 12 2023 - 19:02:49 EST


From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

When a page is being reclaimed from the page pool (sgx_global_lru),
there is an intermediate stage where a page may have been identified
as a candidate for reclaiming, but has not yet been reclaimed.
Currently such pages are list_del_init()'d from the global LRU, and
stored in a an array on stack. To prevent another thread from dropping
the same page in the middle of reclaiming, sgx_drop_epc_page() checks
for list_empty(&page->list).

In future patches these pages need be list_move()'d into a temporary
list that is shared with multiple cgroup reclaimers. so list_empty()
should no longer be used for this purpose. Add a RECLAIM_IN_PROGRESS
state to explicitly designate such intermediate state of EPC in the
reclaiming process. Do not drop any page in this state in
sgx_drop_epc_page().

V3:
- Extend the sgx_epc_page_state enum introduced earlier to replace the
flag based approach.
