Commit 5cadd4bb1d upstream.
Instead of __get_free_pages() and free_pages() use alloc_pages_exact()
and free_pages_exact(). This is in preparation of a change of
gnttab_end_foreign_access() which will prohibit use of high-order
pages.
By using the local variable "order" instead of ring->intf->ring_order
in the error path of xen_9pfs_front_alloc_dataring() another bug is
fixed, as the error path can be entered before ring->intf->ring_order
is being set.
By using alloc_pages_exact() the size in bytes is specified for the
allocation, which fixes another bug for the case of
order < (PAGE_SHIFT - XEN_PAGE_SHIFT).
This is part of CVE-2022-23041 / XSA-396.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
