In sgx_init(), if misc_register() fails or misc_register() succeeds but neither sgx_drv_init() nor sgx_vepc_init() succeeds, then ksgxd will be prematurely stopped. This may leave some unsanitized pages, which does not matter, because SGX will be disabled for the whole power cycle. This triggers WARN_ON() because sgx_dirty_page_list ends up being non-empty, and dumps the call stack: [ 0.268103] sgx: EPC section 0x40200000-0x45f7ffff [ 0.268591] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.268592] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 83 at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/main.c:401 ksgxd+0x1b7/0x1d0 [ 0.268598] Modules linked in: [ 0.268600] CPU: 6 PID: 83 Comm: ksgxd Not tainted 6.0.0-rc2 #382 [ 0.268603] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
