Commit 33172ab50a53578a95691310f49567c9266968b0 upstream.
It isn't enough to check whether a grant is still being in use by calling gnttab_query_foreign_access(), as a mapping could be realized by the other side just after having called that function.
In case the call was done in preparation of revoking a grant it is better to do so via gnttab_try_end_foreign_access() and check the success of that operation instead.
This is CVE-2022-23038 / part of XSA-396.
