[Xen-devel] [PATCH] grant table and bogus mfns



Hi,

While developping a frontend, I noticed that if I gave a grant on mfn 0
to a backend (which is bogus), that backend would happily be allowed to
map it, and hence Oops...

This is because mfn 0 is considered as iomem, and in that case
gnttab_map_grant_ref only checks that the target domain is allowed to
access it.  The patch below makes it check that the source domain was
allowed to access it (and then give the target access to it).
