Juergen Gross 2261393c1a xen/blkfront: don't use gnttab_query_foreign_access() for mapped status
Commit abf1fd5919d6238ee3bc5eb4a9b6c3947caa6638 upstream.

It isn't enough to check whether a grant is still being in use by
calling gnttab_query_foreign_access(), as a mapping could be realized
by the other side just after having called that function.

In case the call was done in preparation of revoking a grant it is
better to do so via gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() and check the
success of that operation instead.

For the ring allocation use alloc_pages_exact() in order to avoid
high order pages in case of a multi-page ring.

If a grant wasn't unmapped by the backend without persistent grants
being used, set the device state to "error".

This is CVE-2022-23036 / part of XSA-396.

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.
