This is not the 1990's, don't use module parameters if you can help it.
Why is this needed, and where is it documented?

This is a CPU pool that can be set by the root user and that includes CPUs set aside to be used for the enclave(s) setup; these CPUs are offlined. From this CPU pool, the kernel logic chooses the CPUs that are set for the created enclave(s).

The cpu-list format is matching the same that is documented here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

I've also thought of having a sysfs entry for the setup of this enclave CPU pool.


+/* CPU pool used for Nitro Enclaves. */
+struct ne_cpu_pool {
+       /* Available CPUs in the pool. */
+       cpumask_var_t avail;
+       struct mutex mutex;
+};
+
+static struct ne_cpu_pool ne_cpu_pool;
+
+static int ne_open(struct inode *node, struct file *file)
+{
+       return 0;

If open does nothing, just don't even provide it.

I removed this and other file ops occurrences that do nothing for now.

+       }
+
+       return 0;
+}
Same for ioctl.

This logic is completed in the next patch in the series.


+
+static int ne_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
+{
+       return 0;
+}
Same for release.

Done, I removed it for now.

Why did you just set a structure to 0 that was already initialized by
the system to 0?  Are you sure about this?

True, this is not needed. Removed the memset() call.

Again, drop all ratelimited stuff please.

Updated to pr_err().

Thank you.
