Instead of always calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() in case the
memory is DMA-able for the used device, do so only in case it has been
made DMA-able via xen_create_contiguous_region() before.

This will avoid a lot of xen_destroy_contiguous_region() calls for
64-bit capable devices.

As the memory in question is owned by swiotlb-xen the PG_owner_priv_1
flag of the first allocated page can be used for remembering.

range_straddles_page_boundary() is open coding several macros from
include/xen/page.h. Use those instead. Additionally there is no need
to have check_pages_physically_contiguous() as a separate function as
it is used only once, so merge it into range_straddles_page_boundary().

The condition in xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() for deciding whether to
call xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is wrong: in case the region to
be freed is not contiguous calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is
the wrong thing to do: it would result in inconsistent mappings of
multiple PFNs to the same MFN. This will lead to various strange
crashes or data corruption.

Instead of calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() in that case a
warning should be issued as that situation should never occur.

Building the privcmd code as a loadable module on ARM, we get
a link error due to the private cache management functions:

ERROR: "__sync_icache_dcache" [drivers/xen/xen-privcmd.ko] undefined!

Move the code into a new that is always built in when Xen is enabled,
as suggested by Juergen Gross and Boris Ostrovsky.

<title>xen/gntdev.c: Replace vm_map_pages() with vm_map_pages_zero()</title>

'commit df9bde015a72 ("xen/gntdev.c: convert to use vm_map_pages()")'
breaks gntdev driver. If vma-&gt;vm_pgoff &gt; 0, vm_map_pages()
will:
 - use map-&gt;pages starting at vma-&gt;vm_pgoff instead of 0
 - verify map-&gt;count against vma_pages()+vma-&gt;vm_pgoff instead of just
   vma_pages().

In practice, this breaks using a single gntdev FD for mapping multiple
grants.

relevant strace output:
[pid   857] ioctl(7, IOCTL_GNTDEV_MAP_GRANT_REF, 0x7ffd3407b6d0) = 0
[pid   857] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7, 0) =
0x777f1211b000
[pid   857] ioctl(7, IOCTL_GNTDEV_SET_UNMAP_NOTIFY, 0x7ffd3407b710) = 0
[pid   857] ioctl(7, IOCTL_GNTDEV_MAP_GRANT_REF, 0x7ffd3407b6d0) = 0
[pid   857] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 7,
0x1000) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)

details here:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5199

The reason is -&gt; ( copying Marek's word from discussion)

vma-&gt;vm_pgoff is used as index passed to gntdev_find_map_index. It's
basically using this parameter for "which grant reference to map".
map struct returned by gntdev_find_map_index() describes just the pages
to be mapped. Specifically map-&gt;pages[0] should be mapped at
vma-&gt;vm_start, not vma-&gt;vm_start+vma-&gt;vm_pgoff*PAGE_SIZE.

When trying to map grant with index (aka vma-&gt;vm_pgoff) &gt; 1,
__vm_map_pages() will refuse to map it because it will expect map-&gt;count
to be at least vma_pages(vma)+vma-&gt;vm_pgoff, while it is exactly
vma_pages(vma).

Converting vm_map_pages() to use vm_map_pages_zero() will fix the
problem.

Marek has tested and confirmed the same.

Merge yet more updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The rest of MM and a kernel-wide procfs cleanup.

  Summary of the more significant patches:

   - Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Factor out memory block
     devicehandling", v3. David Hildenbrand.

     Some spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code, notably in
     drivers/base/memory.c

   - "mm: thp: fix false negative of shmem vma's THP eligibility". Yang
     Shi.

     Fix /proc/pid/smaps output for THP pages used in shmem.

   - "resource: fix locking in find_next_iomem_res()" + 1. Nadav Amit.

     Bugfix and speedup for kernel/resource.c

   - Patch series "mm: Further memory block device cleanups", David
     Hildenbrand.

     More spring-cleaning of the memory hotplug code.

   - Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support". Dan
     Williams.

     Generalise the memory hotplug code so that pmem can use it more
     completely. Then remove the hacks from the libnvdimm code which
     were there to work around the memory-hotplug code's constraints.

   - "proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check", Matteo Croce.

     We have about 250 instances of

          int zero;
          ...
                  .extra1 = &amp;zero,

     in the tree. This is a tree-wide sweep to make all those private
     "zero"s and "one"s use global variables.

     Alas, it isn't practical to make those two global integers const"
