commit 3d7d72a34e05b23e21bafc8bfb861e73c86b31f3 upstream.
On large enclaves we hit the softlockup warning with following call trace:
xa_erase() sgx_vepc_release() __fput() task_work_run() do_exit()
The latency issue is similar to the one fixed in:
8795359e35bc ("x86/sgx: Silence softlockup detection when releasing large enclaves")
The test system has 64GB of enclave memory, and all is assigned to a single VM. Release of 'vepc' takes a longer time and causes long latencies, which triggers the softlockup warning.
Add cond_resched() to give other tasks a chance to run and reduce latencies, which also avoids the softlockup detector.
[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]
