[PATCH v4] x86/sgx: Do not consider unsanitized pages an error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In sgx_init(), if misc_register() for the provision device fails, and
neither sgx_drv_init() nor sgx_vepc_init() succeeds, then ksgxd will be
prematurely stopped.

This triggers WARN_ON() because sgx_dirty_page_list ends up being
non-empty. Ultimately this can crash the kernel, depending on the kernel
command line, which is not correct behavior because SGX driver is not
working incorrectly.

Print simple warning instead, and improve the output by printing the
number of unsanitized pages.

v4:
- Explain expectations for dirty_page_list in the function header, instead
  of an inline comment.
- Improve commit message to explain the conditions better.
- Return the number of pages left dirty to ksgxd() and print warning after
  the 2nd call, if there are any.

v3:
- Remove WARN_ON().
- Tuned comments and the commit message a bit.

v2:
- Replaced WARN_ON() with optional pr_info() inside
  __sgx_sanitize_pages().
- Rewrote the commit message.
- Added the fixes tag.
