[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen-netback: fix occasional leak of grant ref mappings under memory pressure



Zero-copy callback flag is not yet set on frag list skb at the moment
xenvif_handle_frag_list() returns -ENOMEM. This eventually results in
leaking grant ref mappings since xenvif_zerocopy_callback() is never
called for these fragments. Those eventually build up and cause Xen
to kill Dom0 as the slots get reused for new mappings.

That behavior is observed under certain workloads where sudden spikes
of page cache usage for writes coexist with active atomic skb allocations.
