commit 50f6393f9654c561df4cdcf8e6cfba7260143601 upstream. The condition in xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() for deciding whether to call xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is wrong: in case the region to be freed is not contiguous calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is the wrong thing to do: it would result in inconsistent mappings of multiple PFNs to the same MFN. This will lead to various strange crashes or data corruption. Instead of calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() in that case a warning should be issued as that situation should never occur.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
