There is a limited amount of SGX memory (EPC) on each system. When that memory is used up, SGX has its own swapping mechanism which is similar in concept but totally separate from the core mm/* code. Instead of swapping to disk, SGX swaps from EPC to normal RAM. That normal RAM comes from a shared memory pseudo-file and can itself be swapped by the core mm code. There is a hierarchy like this: EPC <-> shmem <-> disk After data is swapped back in from shmem to EPC, the shmem backing storage needs to be freed. Currently, the backing shmem is not freed. This effectively wastes the shmem while the enclave is running. The memory is recovered when the enclave is destroyed and the backing storage freed. Sort this out by freeing memory with shmem_truncate_range(), as soon as a page is faulted back to the EPC. In addition, free the memory for PCMD pages as soon as all PCMD's in a page have been marked as unused by zeroing its contents.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
