xen-netfront: fix resource leak in netfront
This patch removes grant transfer releasing code from netfront, and uses gnttab_end_foreign_access to end grant access since gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref may fail when the grant entry is currently used for reading or writing. * clean up grant transfer code kept from old netfront(2.6.18) which grants pages for access/map and transfer. But grant transfer is deprecated in current netfront, so remove corresponding release code for transfer. * fix resource leak, release grant access (through gnttab_end_foreign_access) and skb for tx/rx path, use get_page to ensure page is released when grant access is completed successfully. Xen-blkfront/xen-tpmfront/xen-pcifront also have similar issue, but patches for them will be created separately. V6: Correct subject line and commit message. V5: Remove unecessary change in xennet_end_access. V4: Revert put_page in gnttab_end_foreign_access, and keep netfront change in single patch. V3: Changes as suggestion from David Vrabel, ensure pages are not freed untill grant acess is ended. V2: Improve patch comments. Signed-off-by: Annie Li <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
