[PATCH] x86/sgx: Free backing memory after faulting the enclave page

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The backing memory was not freed, after loading it back to the SGX
reserved memory. This problem was not prevalent with the systems that
were available at the time when SGX was first upstreamed, as the swapped
memory could grow only up to 128 MB.  However, Icelake Server can have
gigabytes of SGX memory, and thus this has become a real bottleneck.

Free the swap space for other use by calling shmem_truncate_range(),
when a page is faulted back.
