Yes, good catch.

Okay, will expose @sgx_numa_nodes to epc_cgroup.c and do the calculations
in sgx_cgroup_init().


Looks you will also need to expose @sgx_numa_mask, which looks overkill.

Other options:

1) Expose a function to return total EPC pages/size in "sgx.h".

2) Move out the new 'capacity' variable in this patch as a global variable
and expose it in "sgx.h" (perhaps rename to 'sgx_total_epc_pages/size').

3) Make sgx_cgroup_init() to take an argument of total EPC pages/size, and pass it in sgx_init(). For 3) there are also options to get total EPC pages/size:

a) Move out the new 'capacity' variable in this patch as a static.

b) Add a function to calculate total EPC pages/size from sgx_numa_nodes.

Hmm.. I think we can just use option 2)?


I was  about doing this in sgx_cgroup_init():
        for (i = 0; i < num_possible_nodes(); i++)
                capacity += sgx_numa_nodes[i].size;

any concern using num_possible_nodes()?

I think case handled in sgx_page_cache_init() for a node with no epc (or mask). Only requirement is sgx_cgroup_init() called after sgx_page_cache_init().
