Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] x86/sgx: Do not consider unsanitized pages an error
Dear Jarkko,
Thank you for the patch.

Maybe paste the WARN_ON trace, so `git log` can be searched for the
trace too.

See below, but no warning seems to be logged in my case now. (I should
test Linus’ current master too.)

I tested this on top of commit 4c612826bec1 (Merge tag 'net-6.0-rc3' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net) and the
warning trace is gone.
[ 0.255192] calling sgx_init+0x0/0x409 @ 1
[ 0.255207] sgx: EPC section 0x40200000-0x45f7ffff
[ 0.255747] initcall sgx_init+0x0/0x409 returned -19 after 552 usecs
(OT: If -19 suggests something failed, a message, why sgx_init() failed
would be nice.)
Please find the whole output of `dmesg` attached.
Kind regards,
Paul
