Hi folks,

If we run an enclave equipped with large EPC(30G or greater on my platfrom)
on the Linux with kernel preemptions disabled(by configuring
"CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y"), we will get the following softlockup warning 
messages being reported in "dmesg" log:

Is it an known issue? I can get the warning messages on Linux v6.9-rc5.

The EDMM's ioctl()s (sgx_ioc_enclave_{ modify_types | restrict_permissions |  
remove_pages}) 
interface provided by kernel support batch changing attributes of enclave's EPC.
If userspace App requests kernel to handle too many EPC pages, kernel
may stuck for a long time(with preemption disabled).

The log is as follows:

We suggest to give up CPU in the ioctl() handler explicitly. I have attached a
patch which can fix such issue. I'm looking forward to receiving suggestions
from community regarding this patch.

Thanks for your time!
