As 'kdata.num' is user-controlled data, if user tries to allocate
memory larger than(&gt;=) MAX_ORDER, then kcalloc() will fail, it
creates a stack trace and messes up dmesg with a warning.

Call trace:
-&gt; privcmd_ioctl
--&gt; privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource

Add __GFP_NOWARN in order to avoid too large allocation warning.
This is detected by static analysis using smatch.

vma_lookup() walks the VMA tree for a specific value, find_vma() will
search the tree after walking to a specific value.  It is more efficient
to only walk to the requested value since privcmd_ioctl_mmap() will exit
the loop if vm_start != msg-&gt;va.

<title>xen/privcmd: fix error exit of privcmd_ioctl_dm_op()</title>

<content type='text'>
The error exit of privcmd_ioctl_dm_op() is calling unlock_pages()
potentially with pages being NULL, leading to a NULL dereference.

Additionally lock_pages() doesn't check for pin_user_pages_fast()
having been completely successful, resulting in potentially not
locking all pages into memory. This could result in sporadic failures
when using the related memory in user mode.

Fix all of that by calling unlock_pages() always with the real number
of pinned pages, which will be zero in case pages being NULL, and by
checking the number of pages pinned by pin_user_pages_fast() matching
the expected number of pages.

The function doesn't use it and all of its callers say in a comment that
their respective arguments are to be non-NULL only in auto-translated
mode. Since xen_remap_domain_mfn_array() isn't supposed to be used by
non-PV, drop the parameter there as well. It was bogusly passed as non-
NULL (PRIV_VMA_LOCKED) by its only caller anyway. For
xen_remap_domain_gfn_range(), otoh, it's not clear at all why this
wouldn't want / might not need to gain auto-translated support down the
road, so the parameter is retained there despite now remaining unused
(and the only caller passing NULL); correct a respective comment as
well.

xen_pfn_t is the same size as int only on 32-bit builds (and not even
on Arm32). Hence pfns[] can't be used directly to read individual error
values returned from xen_remap_domain_mfn_array(); every other error
indicator would be skipped/ignored on 64-bit.

<title>xen/privcmd: allow fetching resource sizes</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow issuing an IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE ioctl with num = 0 and
addr = 0 in order to fetch the size of a specific resource.

Add a shortcut to the default map resource path, since fetching the
size requires no address to be passed in, and thus no VMA to setup.

This is missing from the initial implementation, and causes issues
when mapping resources that don't have fixed or known sizes.

Allow issuing an IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE ioctl with num = 0 and
addr = 0 in order to fetch the size of a specific resource.

Add a shortcut to the default map resource path, since fetching the
size requires no address to be passed in, and thus no VMA to setup.

This is missing from the initial implementation, and causes issues
when mapping resources that don't have fixed or known sizes.

Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross:
 "A small series for fixing a problem with Xen PVH guests when running
  as backends (e.g. as dom0).

  Mapping other guests' memory is now working via ZONE_DEVICE, thus not
  requiring to abuse the memory hotplug functionality for that purpose"

  xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memory
  memremap: rename MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX to MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC

To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the
ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in
order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM
areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for
ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to
create foreign mappings.

The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing
{alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place
replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be
used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages
returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of
pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of
regions.

If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new
functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of
unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the
correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend
on memory hotplug.

Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it
would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.
