commit e8e937be971d706061dc56220ff3605ab77622a7 upstream.

Since we are using the m2p_override we do have struct pages
corresponding to the user vma mmap'ed by gntdev.

Removing the VM_PFNMAP flag makes get_user_pages work on that vma.
An example test case would be using a Xen userspace block backend
(QDISK) on a file on NFS using O_DIRECT.

<title>xen-gntdev: return -EFAULT on copy_to_user failure</title>

copy_to_user() returns the amount of data remaining to be copied.  We
want to return a negative error code here.  The upper layers just
call WARN_ON() if we return non-zero so this doesn't change the
behavior.  But returning -EFAULT is still cleaner.

<title>xen-gntdev: Use ballooned pages for grant mappings</title>

Grant mappings cause the PFN&lt;-&gt;MFN mapping to be lost on the pages used
for the mapping. Instead of leaking memory, use pages that have already
been ballooned out and so have no valid mapping. This removes the need
for the bad-page leak workaround as pages are repopulated by the balloon
driver.

<content type='text'>
The only time when granted pages need to be treated specially is when
using Xen's PTE modification for grant mappings owned by another domain
(that is, only gntdev on PV guests).  Otherwise, the area does not
require VM_DONTCOPY and VM_PFNMAP, since it can be accessed just like
any other page of RAM.

Since the vm_operations_struct close operations decrement reference
counts, a corresponding open function that increments them is required
now that it is possible to have multiple references to a single area.

We are careful in the gntdev to check if we can remove those flags. The
reason that we need to be careful in gntdev on PV guests is because we are
not changing the PFN/MFN mapping on PV; instead, we change the application's
page tables to point to the other domain's memory. This means that the vma
cannot be copied without using another grant mapping hypercall; it also
requires special handling on unmap, which is the reason for gntdev's
dependency on the MMU notifier.

For gntalloc, this is not a concern - the pages are owned by the domain
using the gntalloc device, and can be mapped and unmapped in the same manner
as any other page of memory.
