Take the most extreme example:

while (hit_global_sgx_limit())
reclaim_from_this(cgroup);

You eventually end up with all of 'cgroup's pages gone and handed out to
other users on the system who stole them all. Other users might cause
you to go over the global limit. *They* should be paying part of the
cost, not just you and your cgroup.
