From cd9151e26d31048b2b5e00fd02e110e07d2200c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2013 15:39:40 +0100 Subject: xen/balloon: set a mapping for ballooned out pages Currently ballooned out pages are mapped to 0 and have INVALID_P2M_ENTRY in the p2m. These ballooned out pages are used to map foreign grants by gntdev and blkback (see alloc_xenballooned_pages). Allocate a page per cpu and map all the ballooned out pages to the corresponding mfn. Set the p2m accordingly. This way reading from a ballooned out page won't cause a kernel crash (see http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-12/msg01154.html).
