Juergen Gross 6b51fd3f65 xen/xenbus: ensure xenbus_map_ring_valloc() returns proper grant status
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
