Two enclave threads may try to add and remove the same enclave page simultaneously (e.g., if the SGX runtime supports both lazy allocation and MADV_DONTNEED semantics). Consider some enclave page added to the enclave. User space decides to temporarily remove this page (e.g., emulating the MADV_DONTNEED semantics) on CPU1. At the same time, user space performs a memory access on the same page on CPU2, which results in a #PF and ultimately in sgx_vma_fault(). Scenario proceeds as follows:
/*
- CPU1: User space performs
- ioctl(SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES)

*/ sgx_encl_remove_pages() {
mutex_lock(&encl->lock);

*/
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock);
/*

*/ sgx_zap_enclave_ptes(encl); /* * Fault on CPU2 on same page X */ sgx_vma_fault() { /* * PTE entry was removed, but the * page is still in enclave's xarray */ xa_load(&encl->page_array) != NULL -> /* * SGX driver thinks that this page * was swapped out and loads it */ mutex_lock(&encl->lock); /* * this is effectively a no-op */ entry = sgx_encl_load_page_in_vma(); /* * add PTE entry * * *BUG*: a PTE is installed for a * page in process of being removed */ vmf_insert_pfn(...);
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock); return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE; }/*
- continue with page removal
*/ mutex_lock(&encl->lock);
sgx_encl_free_epc_page(epc_page) { /* * remove page via EREMOVE */ /* * free EPC page */ sgx_free_epc_page(epc_page); }
xa_erase(&encl->page_array);
mutex_unlock(&encl->lock); }
Here, CPU1 removed the page. However CPU2 installed the PTE entry on the same page. This enclave page becomes perpetually inaccessible (until another SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_REMOVE_PAGES ioctl). This is because the page is marked accessible in the PTE entry but is not EAUGed, and any subsequent access to this page raises a fault: with the kernel believing there to be a valid VMA, the unlikely error code X86_PF_SGX encountered by code path do_user_addr_fault() -> access_error() causes the SGX driver's sgx_vma_fault() to be skipped and user space receives a SIGSEGV instead. The userspace SIGSEGV handler cannot perform EACCEPT because the page was not EAUGed. Thus, the user space is stuck with the inaccessible page.
Fix this race by forcing the fault handler on CPU2 to back off if the page is currently being removed (on CPU1). This is achieved by setting SGX_ENCL_PAGE_BUSY flag right-before the first mutex_unlock() in sgx_encl_remove_pages(). Upon loading the page, CPU2 checks whether this page is busy, and if yes then CPU2 backs off and waits until the page is completely removed. After that, any memory access to this page results in a normal "allocate and EAUG a page on #PF" flow.
Additionally fix a similar race: user space converts a normal enclave page to a TCS page (via SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_MODIFY_TYPES) on CPU1, and at the same time, user space performs a memory access on the same page on CPU2. This fix is not strictly necessary (this particular race would indicate a bug in a user space application), but it gives a consistent rule: if an enclave page is under certain operation by the kernel with the mapping removed, then other threads trying to access that page are temporarily blocked and should retry.

Just acknowledging that my tag hold also for this version. Good job!
All the diff's are as tight as they can get, which is awesome.
