[PATCH] Xen/gntdev: don't ignore kernel unmapping error
Posted by Jan Beulich 2 years, 7 months ago
While working on XSA-361 and its follow-ups, I failed to spot another
place where the kernel mapping part of an operation was not treated the
same as the user space part. Detect and propagate errors and add a 2nd
pr_debug().

It is of course questionable whether zapping handles even upon failure
is the best course of action. Otoh unmapping shouldn't normally fail
unless there's a bug elsewhere (which is how I came to notice this
discrepancy).
