This needs to state _why_ pages are marked as IN_USE from the get-go. Ignoring the "Notes", the whole changelog clearly states the the DIRTY state does _not_ require special handling, but then "Add SGX infrastructure to recover from poison" goes and relies on it being set. Alternatively, why not invert it and have SGX_EPC_PAGE_FREE? That would have clear semantics, the poison recovery code wouldn't have to assume that !flags means "free", and the whole changelog becomes: Add a flag to explicitly track whether or not an EPC page is on a free list, memory failure recovery code needs to be able to detect if a poisoned page is free so that recovery can know if it's safe to "steal" the page.

SGX EPC pages go through the following life cycle: DIRTY ---> FREE ---> IN-USE --\ ^ | \-----------------/ Recovery action for poison for a DIRTY or FREE page is simple. Just make sure never to allocate the page. IN-USE pages need some extra handling. Add a new flag bit SGX_EPC_PAGE_IN_USE that is set when a page is allocated and cleared when the page is freed. Notes: 1) These transitions are made while holding the node->lock so that future code that checks the flags while holding the node->lock can be sure that if the SGX_EPC_PAGE_IN_USE bit is set, then the page is on the free list. 2) Initially while the pages are on the dirty list the SGX_EPC_PAGE_IN_USE bit is set.
