[PATCH 3/3] xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directly

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Tue Oct 25 2011 - 16:08:18 EST


From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>

When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the
GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and
pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm).

After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to
update additional MMs. This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be
removed from alloc_vm_area().
