Perhaps I am missing something, but above change looks weird. Conceptually, it doesn't/shouldn't belong to this series, which essentially preallocates and does EAUG EPC pages for a (or part of) given enclave. The EAUG logic should already be working for the normal fault path, which means the code
change above either: 1) has been done at other place; 2) isn't needed.

I have kinda forgotten the userspace sequence to create an enclave. If I recall
correctly, you do below to create an enclave:

	1) encl_fd = open("/dev/sgx_enclave");
	2) encl_addr = mmap(encl_fd, encl_size, 0 /* pgoff */);
	3) IOCTL(ECREATE, encl_addr, encl_size);

Would the above code change break the "mmap()" in above step 2?
	

No, vm_pgoff was not used previously for enclave VMAs. I had to add this because the offset passed to sgx_fadvise is relative to file base and calculated in mm/madvise.c like this:

        offset = (loff_t)(start - vma->vm_start)
                        + ((loff_t)vma->vm_pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT);

I had a comment in first version but removed it based on Jarkko's suggestion here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y2B0jBsG6HE4KVk7@xxxxxxxxxx/

The original comments probably seemed redundant to the definitions of the vm_pgoff field and the fadvise interface. But let me know if we need add a more helpful version of comments or any suggestion on the comments.

Thanks
Haitao
