Subject: [PATCH 3.16 104/305] xen-swiotlb: use actually allocated size on
 check physical continuous

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Joe Jin <joe.jin@...cle.com>

commit 7250f422da0480d8512b756640f131b9b893ccda upstream.

xen_swiotlb_{alloc,free}_coherent() allocate/free memory based on the
order of the pages and not size argument (bytes). This is inconsistent with
range_straddles_page_boundary and memset which use the 'size' value,
which may lead to not exchanging memory with Xen (range_straddles_page_boundary()
returned true). And then the call to xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() would
actually try to exchange the memory with Xen, leading to the kernel
hitting an BUG (as the hypercall returned an error).

This patch fixes it by making the 'size' variable be of the same size
as the amount of memory allocated.

 - Use PAGE_SHIFT instead of XEN_PAGE_SHIFT
 - Adjust context]
