    x86/xen: Probe target addresses in set_aliased_prot() before the hypercall · aa1acff3
    Andy Lutomirski authored
    The update_va_mapping hypercall can fail if the VA isn't present
    in the guest's page tables.  Under certain loads, this can
    result in an OOPS when the target address is in unpopulated vmap
    space.
    
    While we're at it, add comments to help explain what's going on.
    
    This isn't a great long-term fix.  This code should probably be
    changed to use something like set_memory_ro.
