It might make sense to have this as a separate patch with the comment of sgx_can_reclaim_global() being moved here, from the perspective that this patch only adds the building block to do global reclaim from per-cgroup LRUs but doesn't actually turn that on. But given this patch only adds a helper it might also make sense to just merge this with the patch "x86/sgx: Turn on per-cgroup EPC reclamation". I have no hard opinion on this. Maybe we can keep the current way unless other people comment in. Btw, I don't quite follow why you placed this patch here. It should be placed right before the patch "x86/sgx: Turn on per-cgroup EPC reclamation" (if we want to make this as a separate patch). Or, the patch "x86/sgx: implement direct reclamation for cgroups" should be moved to an earlier place after patch "x86/sgx: Implement async reclamation for cgroup".
