Juergen Gross 5bff1721c8 xen/pvcalls: use alloc/free_pages_exact()
Commit b0576cc9c6b843d99c6982888d59a56209341888 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.

This is part of CVE-2022-23041 / XSA-396.

README

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.
