[ Upstream commit 6b51fd3f65a22e3d1471b18a1d56247e246edd46 ] xenbus_map_ring_valloc() maps a ring page and returns the status of the used grant (0 meaning success). There are Xen hypervisors which might return the value 1 for the status of a failed grant mapping due to a bug. Some callers of xenbus_map_ring_valloc() test for errors by testing the returned status to be less than zero, resulting in no error detected and crashing later due to a not available ring page. Set the return value of xenbus_map_ring_valloc() to GNTST_general_error in case the grant status reported by Xen is greater than zero. This is part of XSA-316.

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.
