The buggy commit is 1728ab54b4be ("x86/sgx: Add a page reclaimer") in v5.11, it should use list_for_each_entry_srcu()which is introduced in v5.10, so I rewrite the commit message as below, is it ok?



    x86/sgx: Use list_for_each_entry_srcu() for mm_list traversal

    In commit 1728ab54b4be ("x86/sgx: Add a page reclaimer") (v5.11),
    list_for_each_entry_rcu() was used to traverse the enclave's mm_list.
    However, this is incorrect because the list is protected by a Sleepable
    RCU (SRCU) lock (encl->srcu).

    Since commit 28875945ba98 ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU reader
    checking") (v5.4), RCU lockdep checking has become stricter. When
    CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled, using the standard list_for_each_entry_rcu()
    while only holding an SRCU lock triggers "suspicious RCU usage" false
    positive warnings, as it does not recognize SRCU read-side critical
    sections.

    Fix this by switching to list_for_each_entry_srcu(), which was
    introduced specifically for this purpose in commit ae2212a7216
    ("rculist: Introduce list/hlist_for_each_entry_srcu() macros") (v5.10).
    This correctly associates the traversal with the SRCU lock and
    eliminates the lockdep warnings.
