[ 36/77] xen-blkback: use balloon pages for persistent grants

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Mar 01 2013 - 14:45:42 EST


3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 087ffecdaa1875cc683a7a5bc0695b3ebfce3bad upstream.

With current persistent grants implementation we are not freeing the
persistent grants after we disconnect the device. Since grant map
operations change the mfn of the allocated page, and we can no longer
pass it to __free_page without setting the mfn to a sane value, use
balloon grant pages instead, as the gntdev device does.
