Unsanitized pages trigger WARN_ON() unconditionally, which can panic the whole computer, if /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn is set. 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 unsanitized pages, which will result a false warning. Refine __sgx_sanitize_pages() to return: 1. Zero when the sanitization process is complete or ksgxd has been requested to stop. 2. The number of unsanitized pages otherwise. Use the return value as the criteria for triggering output, and tone down the output to pr_err() to prevent the whole system to be taken down if for some reason sanitization process does not complete.

Instead use zero both premature stop and complete sanitization. v6: - Address Reinette's feedback: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/Yw6%2FiTzSdSw%2FY%2FVO@xxxxxxxxxx/ v5: - Add the klog dump and sysctl option to the commit message. 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. --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/main.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/main.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/main.c index 515e2a5f25bb..c0a5ce19c608 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/main.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/main.c @@ -49,17 +49,23 @@ static LIST_HEAD(sgx_dirty_page_list); * Reset post-kexec EPC pages to the uninitialized state.
