My commit comment (updated to match how the code actually changed).
Sean's code.

N.B. I added the kernel doc entry for the new argument to sgx_alloc_va_page()

+ * @va_page:   struct sgx_va_page connected to this VA page

If you have something better, then I will swap that line out too.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/sgx: Provide indication of life-cycle of EPC pages

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.

It would be good to use the sgx_epc_page->owner field as an indicator
of where an EPC page is currently in that cycle (owner != NULL means
the EPC page is IN-USE). But there is one caller, sgx_alloc_va_page(),
that calls with NULL.

Fix up the one holdout to provide a non-NULL owner.

Also change the type of "owner" to "void *" (since it can have other
types besides "struct sgx_encl_page *").
