xenbus_map_ring_valloc() maps a ring page and returns the status of the used grant (0 meaning success). There are Xen hypervisors which might return the value 1 for the status of a failed grant mapping due to a bug. Some callers of xenbus_map_ring_valloc() test for errors by testing the returned status to be less than zero, resulting in no error detected and crashing later due to a not available ring page. Set the return value of xenbus_map_ring_valloc() to GNTST_general_error in case the grant status reported by Xen is greater than zero. This is part of XSA-316.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
