commit ebee0eab08594b2bd5db716288a4f1ae5936e9bc upstream. Failure of the kernel part of the mapping operation should also be indicated as an error to the caller, or else it may assume the respective kernel VA is okay to access. Furthermore gnttab_map_refs() failing still requires recording successfully mapped handles, so they can be unmapped subsequently. This in turn requires there to be a way to tell full hypercall failure from partial success - preset map_op status fields such that they won't "happen" to look as if the operation succeeded. Also again use GNTST_okay instead of implying its value (zero). 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.
