Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/8] xen/arm: Handle correctly foreign mapping



George: I forgot to add that for the release perspective, this series is a bug fix for Xen 4.4 on ARM.

Without this series, dom0 will run out of memory sooner or later.

Hello,

This patch series aims to fix "Failed to unmap" message in dom0 when a guest
is creating. Actually it will result to leak dom0 memory.

The series is based on pvh dom0 v5 patch series
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/309493?page=last) from Mukesh.

     - Patch #1: this patch add support to remove correctly foreign page
     on ARM, if it's possible I would like to merge with patch #6 of Mukesh.
     - Patch #2: prepare work for the other patch
     - Patch #3-6: add support for p2m type
     - Patch #7: set p2m type for foreign page
     - Patch #8: it's not really part of this serie. It adds support for
     read-only grant-mapping.

In the ideal world, this patch series and the pvh dom0 series should be mixed
to avoid to introduce dummy functions that will be removed later.

Sincerely yours,
