Commit d3b6372c5881cb54925212abb62c521df8ba4809 upstream.
Using gnttab_query_foreign_access() is unsafe, as it is racy by design.
The use case in the gntalloc driver is not needed at all. While at it replace the call of gnttab_end_foreign_access_ref() with a call of gnttab_end_foreign_access(), which is what is really wanted there. In case the grant wasn't used due to an allocation failure, just free the grant via gnttab_free_grant_reference().
This is CVE-2022-23039 / part of XSA-396.
