commit a35f2ef3b7376bfd0a57f7844bd7454389aae1fc upstream. Its sibling (set_foreign_p2m_mapping()) as well as the sibling of its only caller (gnttab_map_refs()) don't clean up after themselves in case of error. Higher level callers are expected to do so. However, in order for that to really clean up any partially set up state, the operation should not terminate upon encountering an entry in unexpected state. It is particularly relevant to notice here that set_foreign_p2m_mapping() would skip setting up a p2m entry if its grant mapping failed, but it would continue to set up further p2m entries as long as their mappings succeeded. Arguably down the road set_foreign_p2m_mapping() may want its page state related WARN_ON() also converted to an error return. This is part of XSA-361.

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.
