commit dbe5283605b3bc12ca45def09cc721a0a5c853a2 upstream. We may not skip setting the field in the unmap structure when GNTMAP_device_map is in use - such an unmap would fail to release the respective resources (a page ref in the hypervisor). Otoh the field doesn't need setting at all when GNTMAP_device_map is not in use. To record the value for unmapping, we also better don't use our local p2m: In particular after a subsequent change it may not have got updated for all the batch elements. Instead it can simply be taken from the respective map's results. We can additionally avoid playing this game altogether for the kernel part of the mappings in (x86) PV mode. 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.
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.
