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_IS_FREE that is set when a page
is added to a free list and cleared when the page is allocated.
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_IS_FREE 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_IS_FREE bit is cleared.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
