Subject: xen/privcmd: Support correctly 64KB page granularity when mapping memory
From: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>
commit 753c09b5652bb4fe53e2db648002ec64b32b8827 upstream.
Commit 5995a68 "xen/privcmd: Add support for Linux 64KB page granularity" did
not go far enough to support 64KB in mmap_batch_fn.
The variable 'nr' is the number of 4KB chunk to map. However, when Linux
is using 64KB page granularity the array of pages (vma->vm_private_data)
contain one page per 64KB. Fix it by incrementing st->index correctly.
Furthermore, st->va is not correctly incremented as PAGE_SIZE !=
XEN_PAGE_SIZE.
Fixes: 5995a68 ("xen/privcmd: Add support for Linux 64KB page granularity")
