While gntdev_release() is called the MMU notifier is still registered
and can traverse priv-&gt;maps list even if no pages are mapped (which is
the case -- gntdev_release() is called after all). But
gntdev_release() will clear that list, so make sure that only one of
those things happens at the same time.

Using xen/page.h will be necessary later for using common xen page
helpers.

As xen/page.h already include asm/xen/page.h, always use the later.

For a PV guest, use the find_special_page op to find the right page.
To handle VMAs being split, remember the start of the original VMA so
the correct index in the pages array can be calculated.

<title>xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special on x86 PV guests</title>

<id>923b2919e2c318ee1c360a2119a14889fd0fcce4</id>
<content type='text'>
In an x86 PV guest, get_user_pages_fast() on a userspace address range
containing foreign mappings does not work correctly because the M2P
lookup of the MFN from a userspace PTE may return the wrong page.

Force get_user_pages_fast() to fail on such addresses by marking the PTEs
as special.

If Xen has XENFEAT_gnttab_map_avail_bits (available since at least
4.0), we can do so efficiently in the grant map hypercall.  Otherwise,
it needs to be done afterwards.  This is both inefficient and racy
(the mapping is visible to the task before we fixup the PTEs), but
will be fine for well-behaved applications that do not use the mapping
until after the mmap() system call returns.

Guests with XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap (ARM and x86 HVM or PVH)
do not need this since get_user_pages() has always worked correctly
for them.

Use gnttab_unmap_refs_async() to wait until the mapped pages are no
longer in use before unmapping them.

This allows userspace programs to safely use Direct I/O and AIO to a
network filesystem which may retain refs to pages in queued skbs after
the filesystem I/O has completed.

This allows the grant unmap for the kernel mappings to be trivially
