It's hard to add new content to this function because it is time
consuming to match fallback and its cause. Rename labels in a way
that the name of error label refers to the site where failure
happened. This way it is easier to keep on track what is going
on.

The amount of SGX memory on the system is determined by the BIOS and it
varies wildly between systems.  It can be from dozens of MB's on desktops
or VM's, up to many GB's on servers.  Just like for regular memory, it is
sometimes useful to know the amount of usable SGX memory in the system.

Add an attribute for the amount of SGX memory in bytes to each NUMA
node. The path is /sys/devices/system/node/node[0-9]*/sgx/size.
Calculate these values by summing up EPC section sizes for each node
during the driver initalization.

v8:
* Fix a bug in sgx_numa_init(): node->dev should be only set after
  sysfe_create_group().  Otherwise, sysfs_remove_group() will issue a
  warning in sgx_numa_exit(), when sgx_create_group() is unsuccessful,
  because the group does not exist.

v7:
* Shorten memory_size to size. The prefix makes the name only longer
  but does not clarify things more than "size" would.
* Use device_attribute instead of kobj_attribute.
* Use named attribute group instead of creating raw kobject just for
  the "sgx" subdirectory.

v6:
* Initialize node->size to zero in sgx_setup_epc_section(), when the
  node is first accessed.

v5
* A new patch based on the discussion on
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/3a7cab4115b4f902f3509ad8652e616b91703e1d.camel@kernel.org/T/#t

A huge hint, if a driver has to call a sysfs_* call, something is wrong.

Something is wrong here.

Why are you messing around with a kobject?  This is a device, that you
control, you can just set the default attribute group for it and then
the driver core will add and remove the sysfs group at the proper time,
in the proper way.  Right now you are racing userspace and loosing.

Use the default group list, that is what it is there for.

I used sysfs_create_group() because node_devices is not owned by SGX
code. It is managed in drivers/base/node.c, and also initialized before
SGX.

Then that is broken, please do not use that device as your code does not
"own" it.  Or fix the logic to be initialized earlier.

To get a synchronous initialization, I'd need to add the attributes as
part of this declaration:

static struct attribute *node_dev_attrs[] = {
	&dev_attr_cpumap.attr,
	&dev_attr_cpulist.attr,
	&dev_attr_meminfo.attr,
	&dev_attr_numastat.attr,
	&dev_attr_distance.attr,
	&dev_attr_vmstat.attr,
	NULL
};
ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(node_dev);

That guarantees that the attribute exists at the time when the
node is created, e.g. in that sense this will fix the race with
uevent code.

However, up until sgx_init() has been completed, the attribute
will emit '0'.

If I change sgx_init() from device_initcall() to
core_initcall() (i.e. one before postcore_initcall(), can I
expect these to work:

* node_isset()
* node_set()
* num_possibles_nodes()
* numa_node_id()
* next_node_in()

?

Dave, perhaps you know this?

[*] register_node_type() and kobject_event_init() are postcore init
    calls, so this would be non-racy.
