Hi,
gntdev doesn't even try to handle forking. I wouldn't be surprised if that is a great way to kill Domain-0. The xen hypervisor will most likely not be amused to find a pte refering to a granted (but foreign) page which wasn't established using the grant table interface. Pinning the pgd of the child process will most likely fail and make the kernel BUG().
Ok, isn't that bad thanks to the VM_DONTCOPY. The child just doesn't get the grant mapping. cheers, Gerd
