Thanks for the patch.

There maybe too many physical memory regions if the memory regions
backend with 2M hugetlb pages.

Could update something along these lines:

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.

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.

Let's see the current state of the NE user space tooling and how it interacts with the NE kernel driver.

The Nitro CLI tooling sets one hugepage per memory region [1]. The NE sample from the upstream Linux kernel does the same [2].

We need to have a way to exercise this code path of merging memory regions and validate it. Let's have, for example, an update for the NE sample, if you can please add as an additional commit in the next revision.

There could be an option e.g. to have both 2 MiB and 8 MiB memory regions, backed by 2 MiB hugepages. For example:


/**
- * NE_MIN_MEM_REGION_SIZE - Minimum size of a memory region - 2 MiB.
+ * NE_2MB_MEM_REGION_SIZE - Size of a memory region - 2 MiB.
  */
-#define NE_MIN_MEM_REGION_SIZE         (2 * 1024 * 1024)
+#define NE_2MB_MEM_REGION_SIZE         (2 * 1024 * 1024)

 /**
- * NE_DEFAULT_NR_MEM_REGIONS - Default number of memory regions of 2 MiB set for
+ * NE_8MB_MEM_REGION_SIZE - Size of a memory region - 8 MiB.
+ */
+#define NE_8MB_MEM_REGION_SIZE         (8 * 1024 * 1024)
+
+/**
+ * NE_DEFAULT_NR_2MB_MEM_REGIONS - Default number of memory regions of 2 MiB set for
+ *                                an enclave.
+ */
+#define NE_DEFAULT_NR_2MB_MEM_REGIONS  (128)
+
+/**
+ * NE_DEFAULT_NR_8MB_MEM_REGIONS - Default number of memory regions of 8 MiB set for
+ *                                an enclave.
+ */
+#define NE_DEFAULT_NR_8MB_MEM_REGIONS  (32)
+
+/**
+ * NE_DEFAULT_NR_MEM_REGIONS - Default number of memory regions of 2 MiB and 8 MiB set for
  *                            an enclave.
  */
-#define NE_DEFAULT_NR_MEM_REGIONS      (256)
+#define NE_DEFAULT_NR_MEM_REGIONS (NE_DEFAULT_NR_2MB_MEM_REGIONS + NE_DEFAULT_NR_8MB_MEM_REGIONS)



Then the logic from [2] can be updated to allocate the first part, the 2 MiB memory regions, then the second part, the 8 MiB memory regions.

Open for other options as well to cover the validation for the regions merging case.
