This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xen/xenbus: ensure xenbus_map_ring_valloc() returns proper grant status to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xen-xenbus-ensure-xenbus_map_ring_valloc-returns-pro.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit db59e54366a5c69b435f58a31fa97a7ef35c126e Author: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 26 09:03:58 2020 +0100 xen/xenbus: ensure xenbus_map_ring_valloc() returns proper grant status [ Upstream commit 6b51fd3f65a22e3d1471b18a1d56247e246edd46 ] xenbus_map_ring_valloc() maps a ring page and returns the status of the used grant (0 meaning success). There are Xen hypervisors which might return the value 1 for the status of a failed grant mapping due to a bug. Some callers of xenbus_map_ring_valloc() test for errors by testing the returned status to be less than zero, resulting in no error detected and crashing later due to a not available ring page. Set the return value of xenbus_map_ring_valloc() to GNTST_general_error in case the grant status reported by Xen is greater than zero. This is part of XSA-316.
