Thanks for feedback. Sorry I am not sure if I understand you. So if we don't want to bring functionality change, we need to replace sgx_free_epc_page() in all call sites with sgx_encl_free_epc_page(). To me for this patch only, it's better not to bring any functional change, so I intend to replace all (I now consider even leaving sgx_alloc_va_page() out is not good idea in *this* patch). Or do you just want to replace sgx_free_epc_page() with sgx_encl_free_epc_page() in sgx_encl_shrink() and sgx_encl_add_page(), as I pointed above? In this way there will be functional change in this patch, and we need to explicitly explain why leaving others out is OK in commit message. To me I prefer the former.
