+Subject: [PATCH] gnttab: split maptrack lock to make it fulfill its purpose
+ again
+
+The way the lock is currently being used in get_maptrack_handle(), it
+protects only the maptrack limit: The function acts on current's list
+only, so races on list accesses are impossible even without the lock.
+
+Otoh list access races are possible between __get_maptrack_handle() and
+put_maptrack_handle(), due to the invocation of the former for other
+than current from steal_maptrack_handle(). Introduce a per-vCPU lock
+for list accesses to become race free again. This lock will be
+uncontended except when it becomes necessary to take the steal path,
+i.e. in the common case there should be no meaningful performance
+impact.
+
+When in get_maptrack_handle adds a stolen entry to a fresh, empty,
+freelist, we think that there is probably no concurrency. However,
+this is not a fast path and adding the locking there makes the code
+clearly correct.
+
+Also, while we are here: the stolen maptrack_entry's tail pointer was
+not properly set. Set it.
+
+This is XSA-228.
