    xen: modify kernel mappings corresponding to granted pages · 0930bba6
    Stefano Stabellini authored
    If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
    vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
    kernel mappings accordingly.
    Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
    through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
    kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
    However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
    start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.
    
    In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
    the pages lowmem.
    We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
    m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
    HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
    Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
    once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.
    
    Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
    guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
    Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
    mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
    set correctly.
