SGX uses shmem backing storage to store encrypted enclave pages and their crypto metadata when enclave pages are moved out of enclave memory. Two shmem backing storage pages are associated with each enclave page - one backing page to contain the encrypted enclave page data and one backing page (shared by a few enclave pages) to contain the crypto metadata used by the processor to verify the enclave page when it is loaded back into the enclave. sgx_encl_put_backing() is used to release references to the backing storage and, optionally, mark both backing store pages as dirty. Managing references and dirty status together in this way results in both backing store pages marked as dirty, even if only one of the backing store pages are changed. Additionally, waiting until the page reference is dropped to set the page dirty risks a race with the page fault handler that may load outdated data into the enclave when a page is faulted right after it is reclaimed. Consider what happens if the reclaimer writes a page to the backing store and the page is immediately faulted back, before the reclaimer is able to set the dirty bit of the page: sgx_reclaim_pages() { sgx_vma_fault() { ... sgx_encl_get_backing(); ... ... sgx_reclaimer_write() { mutex_lock(&encl->lock); /* Write data to backing store */ mutex_unlock(&encl->lock); } mutex_lock(&encl->lock); __sgx_encl_eldu() { ... /* * Enclave backing store * page not released * nor marked dirty - * contents may not be * up to date. */ sgx_encl_get_backing(); ... /* * Enclave data restored * from backing store * and PCMD pages that * are not up to date. * ENCLS[ELDU] faults * because of MAC or PCMD * checking failure. */ sgx_encl_put_backing(); } ... /* set page dirty */ sgx_encl_put_backing(); ... mutex_unlock(&encl->lock); } } Remove the option to sgx_encl_put_backing() to set the backing pages as dirty and set the needed pages as dirty right after receiving important data while enclave mutex is held. This ensures that the page fault handler can get up to date data from a page and prepares the code for a following change where only one of the backing pages need to be marked as dirty.
