In sgx_setup_epc_section():


section->pages = vmalloc(nr_pages * sizeof(struct sgx_epc_page));
if (!section->pages) {
memunmap(section->virt_addr);
return false;
}

I.e. this rollback does not happen without this fix applied:

for (i = 0; i < sgx_nr_epc_sections; i++) {
vfree(sgx_epc_sections[i].pages);
memunmap(sgx_epc_sections[i].virt_addr);
}
