[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.6] tools/libxc: linux: Don't use getpagesize() when unmapping the grants



The grants are based on the Xen granularity (i.e 4KB). While the function
to map grants for Linux (linux_gnttab_grant_map) is using the correct
size (XC_PAGE_SIZE), the unmap one (linux_gnttab_munmap) is using
getpagesize().

On domain using a page granularity different than Xen (this is the case
for AARCH64 guest using 64KB page), the unmap will be called with the
wrong size.

    This is a candidate for Xen 4.6 and backport for Xen 4.5.
    There is no functional changes for 4KB domain (i.e x86, arm32, arm64 when
    4KB is used) but fixes a latent problem when the domain is using 64KB page
    on ARM64.

    The mmap is done correctly use XC_PAGE_SIZE but not the munmap.
    This will likely fail to unmap. I don't think it will unmap too
    much.

    I grepped getpagesize in the tools, and so far I haven't found any other
    in Xen specific code. There is some in blktap2 and QEMU. I don't think
    the former is that important for ARM64. I will take care of the latter
    in a separate series.
