2011-11-21xen-gntalloc: signedness bug in add_grefs()Dan Carpenter
commit 99cb2ddcc617f43917e94a4147aa3ccdb2bcd77e upstream. gref->gref_id is unsigned so the error handling didn't work. gnttab_grant_foreign_access() returns an int type, so we can add a cast here, and it doesn't cause any problems. gnttab_grant_foreign_access() can return a variety of errors including -ENOSPC, -ENOSYS and -ENOMEM.

2011-11-21xen-gntalloc: integer overflow in gntalloc_ioctl_alloc()Dan Carpenter
commit 21643e69a4c06f7ef155fbc70e3fba13fba4a756 upstream. On 32 bit systems a high value of op.count could lead to an integer overflow in the kzalloc() and gref_ids would be smaller than expected. If the you triggered another integer overflow in "if (gref_size + op.count > limit)" then you'd probably get memory corruption inside add_grefs().

2011-03-09xen/gntdev,gntalloc: Remove unneeded VM flagsDaniel De Graaf
The only time when granted pages need to be treated specially is when using Xen's PTE modification for grant mappings owned by another domain (that is, only gntdev on PV guests). Otherwise, the area does not require VM_DONTCOPY and VM_PFNMAP, since it can be accessed just like any other page of RAM. Since the vm_operations_struct close operations decrement reference counts, a corresponding open function that increments them is required now that it is possible to have multiple references to a single area. We are careful in the gntdev to check if we can remove those flags. The reason that we need to be careful in gntdev on PV guests is because we are not changing the PFN/MFN mapping on PV; instead, we change the application's page tables to point to the other domain's memory. This means that the vma cannot be copied without using another grant mapping hypercall; it also requires special handling on unmap, which is the reason for gntdev's dependency on the MMU notifier. For gntalloc, this is not a concern - the pages are owned by the domain using the gntalloc device, and can be mapped and unmapped in the same manner as any other page of memory.

2011-02-14xen/gntalloc,gntdev: Add unmap notify ioctlDaniel De Graaf
This ioctl allows the users of a shared page to be notified when the other end exits abnormally. [v2: updated description in structs] Signed-off-by: Daniel De Graaf <dgdegra@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2011-02-14xen-gntalloc: Userspace grant allocation driverDaniel De Graaf
This allows a userspace application to allocate a shared page for implementing inter-domain communication or device drivers. These shared pages can be mapped using the gntdev device or by the kernel in another domain.
