[Xen-devel] bug in xc_gntshr_munmap?



Hi,

Header says:
/*
 * Unmaps the @count pages starting at @start_address, which were mapped by a
 * call to xc_gntshr_share_*. Never logs.
 */
int xc_gntshr_munmap(xc_gntshr *xcg, void *start_address, uint32_t count);

But implementation calls:
static int linux_gntshr_munmap(xc_gntshr *xcg, xc_osdep_handle h,
                               void *start_address, uint32_t count)
{
    return munmap(start_address, count);
}

munmap(2) expect second argument to be size of mapped area (in bytes), not
pages count.

Users of xc_gntshr_munmap (the only one I'm aware of is libxenvchan) already
uses that broken semantic.

Is it going to be fixed (I can send trivial patch for both libxc and
libxenvchan), or the comment in header should be updated?
