Subject: [20/26] xen-gntalloc: integer overflow in gntalloc_ioctl_alloc()

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 21643e69a4c06f7ef155fbc70e3fba13fba4a756 upstream.

On 32 bit systems a high value of op.count could lead to an integer
overflow in the kzalloc() and gref_ids would be smaller than
expected.  If the you triggered another integer overflow in
"if (gref_size + op.count > limit)" then you'd probably get memory
corruption inside add_grefs().
