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.

Fixes: 51ab30eb2ad4 ("x86/sgx: Replace section->init_laundry_list with sgx_dirty_page_list") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.13+ Reported-by: Paul Menzel pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen jarkko@kernel.org --- v9: - Remove left_dirty declaratio from ksgxd(). - Update commit message.
v8: - Discard changes that are not relevant for the stable fix. This does absolutely minimum to address the bug: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/a5fa56bdc57d6472a306bd8d795afc674b724538.c...
v7: - Rewrote commit message. - Do not return -ECANCELED on premature stop. Instead use zero both premature stop and complete sanitization.
v6: - Address Reinette's feedback: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/Yw6%2FiTzSdSw%2FY%2FVO@kernel.org/
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 | 15 +++++++++------ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
