You must explicitly unmap grants. So the domain which uses GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref must subsequently unmap it with GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref. You cannot just zap the pte!

Hi,
I am using grant tables to set up a shared memory between two guests.
One problem i am facing is that as soon as the shared memory is set up one of the domain crashes with the log message
 "Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE".
the message is from function "put_page_from_l1e" in mm.c(arch/x86).

what could be the reason? Any pointers would be of great help
