Right. When code reaches to here, we already passed reclaim per cgroup.
Yes if try_charge() failed we must do pre-cgroup reclaim.
The cgroup may not at or reach limit but system has run out of physical
EPC.
But after try_charge() we can still choose to reclaim from the current
group,
but not necessarily have to be global, right? I am not sure whether I am
missing something, but could you elaborate why we should choose to
reclaim from
the global?
Once try_charge is done and returns zero that means the cgroup usage is
charged and it's not over usage limit. So you really can't reclaim from
that cgroup if allocation failed. The only thing you can do is to
reclaim globally.
Sorry I still cannot establish the logic here.
Let's say the sum of all cgroups are greater than the physical EPC, and
elclave(s) in each cgroup could potentially fault w/o reaching cgroup's
limit.
In this case, when enclave(s) in one cgroup faults, why we cannot
reclaim from the current cgroup, but have to reclaim from global?
Is there any real downside of the former, or you just want to follow the
reclaim logic w/o cgroup at all?
IIUC, there's at least one advantage of reclaim from the current group,
that faults of enclave(s) in one group won't impact other enclaves in
other cgroups. E.g., in this way other enclaves in other groups may
never need to trigger faults.
Or perhaps I am missing anything?
