The SGX reclaimer code lacks page poison handling in its main free path. This can lead to avoidable machine checks if a poisoned page is freed and reallocated instead of being isolated. A troublesome scenario is: 1. Machine check (#MC) occurs (asynchronous, !MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) 2. arch_memory_failure() is eventually called 3. (SGX) page->poison set to 1 4. Page is reclaimed 5. Page added to normal free lists by sgx_reclaim_pages() ^ This is the bug (poison pages should be isolated on the sgx_poison_page_list instead) 6. Page is reallocated by some innocent enclave, a second (synchronous) in-kernel #MC is induced, probably during EADD instruction. ^ This is the fallout from the bug (6) is unfortunate and can be avoided by replacing the open coded enclave page freeing code in the reclaimer with sgx_free_epc_page() to obtain support for poison page handling that includes placing the poisoned page on the correct list.
