The usage of gnttab_end_foreign_access() in xenhcd_gnttab_done() is not safe against a malicious backend, as the backend could keep the I/O page mapped and modify it even after the granted memory page is being used for completely other purposes in the local system. So replace that use case with gnttab_try_end_foreign_access() and disable the PV host adapter in case the backend didn't stop using the granted page. In xenhcd_urb_request_done() immediately return in case of setting the device state to "error" instead of looking into further backend responses.

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.
