[Xen-devel] [PATCH] bugfix: free grant table entry in xenkbd_disconnect_backend

[hansechang@xxxxxxxxx]

From: Chang Huaixin <huaixin.chx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This bug affects live migration.

xenkdb_disconnect_backend uses gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref
to handle grant table entry which doesn't really free an entry.

Thus every time we do xenkbd_resume, grant table entry increses
by one. Every 512 times we do xenkdb_resume, grant table pages
increses by one.

After around 3500 times of live migration, grant table pages
will increase by 7, causing too many pages to populate and hitting
max_pages limit when assigning pages.Thus assign_pages will fail,
so will live migration.
