Subject: [PATCH v14 10/14] x86/sgx: Implement async reclamation for cgroup

From: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen@...ux.intel.com>

In cases EPC pages need be allocated during a page fault and the cgroup
usage is near its limit, an asynchronous reclamation needs be triggered
to avoid blocking the page fault handling.

Create a workqueue, corresponding work item and function definitions
for EPC cgroup to support the asynchronous reclamation.

In sgx_cgroup_try_charge(), if caller does not allow synchronous
reclamation, queue an asynchronous work into the workqueue.

Reclaiming only when the usage is at or very close to the limit would
cause thrashing. To avoid that, before returning from
sgx_cgroup_try_charge(), check the need for reclamation (usage too close
to the limit), queue an async work if needed, similar to how the global
reclaimer wakes up its reclaiming thread after each allocation in
sgx_alloc_epc_pages().

V13:
- Revert to BUG_ON() in case of workq allocation failure in init and
only alloc if misc is enabled.

V11:
- Print error instead of WARN (Kai)
- Add check for need to queue an async reclamation before returning from
try_charge(), do so if needed. This is to be consistent with global
reclaimer to minimize thrashing during allocation time.

V10:
- Split asynchronous flow in separate patch. (Kai)
- Consider cgroup disabled when the workqueue allocation fail during
init. (Kai)
- Abstract out sgx_cgroup_should_reclaim().

V9:
- Add comments for static variables. (Jarkko)

V8:
- Remove alignment for substructure variables. (Jarkko)

V7:
- Split this out from the big patch, #10 in V6. (Dave, Kai)
