[PATCH 3/3] xen/gntdev: remove erronous use of copy_to_user

From: Daniel De Graaf
Date: Wed Jan 02 2013 - 17:58:37 EST


Since there is now a mapping of granted pages in kernel address space in
both PV and HVM, use it for UNMAP_NOTIFY_CLEAR_BYTE instead of accessing
memory via copy_to_user and triggering sleep-in-atomic warnings.
