Today you can have 100.

Keeping full byte offset up until parts of it are required for something
makes the formula just a simple equation of additions and multiplications,
e.g. nothing like "/ sizeof(struct sgx_pcmd)" is required.

Then you get the PCMD page index will be just PFN_DOWN(pcmd_off) and offset
inside that page is pcmd_off & PAGE_MASK. At least fro me this is more
intuitive way to do the calculations.

I thought that the formula is so simple that it does not matter if it is
just in two sites open coded but I can wrap it too, if required, e.g.

/*
* Calculate byte offset of a PCMD struct associated to an enclave page.
* PCMD's follow right after the EPC data in the backing storage. In
* addition to the visible enclave pages, there's one extra page slot
* for SECS, before PCMD data.
*/
static pgoff_t *sgx_encl_page_index_to_pcmd_offset(struct sgx_encl *encl, unsigned long page_index)
{
return encl->size + PAGE_SIZE + page_index * sizeof(struct sgx_pcmd);
}

This one has correct and tested calculations but for peer test probably
Reinette should verify that. I tested this with my laptop in bare metal.
