Haogang Chen found out that:

 There is a potential integer overflow in process_msg() that could result
 in cross-domain attack.

 	body = kmalloc(msg-&gt;hdr.len + 1, GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH);

 When a malicious guest passes 0xffffffff in msg-&gt;hdr.len, the subsequent
 call to xb_read() would write to a zero-length buffer.

 The other end of this connection is always the xenstore backend daemon
 so there is no guest (malicious or otherwise) which can do this. The
 xenstore daemon is a trusted component in the system.

 However this seem like a reasonable robustness improvement so we should
 have it.

And Ian when read the API docs found that:
        The payload length (len field of the header) is limited to 4096
        (XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX) in both directions.  If a client exceeds the
        limit, its xenstored connection will be immediately killed by
        xenstored, which is usually catastrophic from the client's point of
        view.  Clients (particularly domains, which cannot just reconnect)
        should avoid this.

so this patch checks against that instead.

This also avoids a potential integer overflow pointed out by Haogang Chen.

This reverts commit ddacf5ef684a655abe2bb50c4b2a5b72ae0d5e05.
As when booting the kernel under Amazon EC2 as an HVM guest it ends up
hanging during startup. Reverting this we loose the fix for kexec
booting to the crash kernels.

Fixes Canonical BZ #901305 (http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/901305)

<title>xen/granttable: Introducing grant table V2 stucture</title>

This patch introduces new structures of grant table V2, grant table V2 is an
extension from V1. Grant table is shared between guest and Xen, and Xen is
responsible to do corresponding work for grant operations, such as: figure
out guest's grant table version, perform different actions based on
different grant table version, etc. Although full-page structure of V2
is different from V1, it play the same role as V1.

Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.

CC: Li Dongyang &lt;lidongyang@novell.com&gt;
[v1: Used 'flag' instead of 'secure:1' bit]
[v2: Use 'reserved' uint8_t instead of adding a new value]
[v3: Check for nseg when mapping instead of operation]
