+Subject: [PATCH 2/4] gnttab: fix unmap pin accounting race
+
+Once all {writable} mappings of a grant entry have been unmapped, the
+hypervisor informs the guest that the grant entry has been released by
+clearing the _GTF_{reading,writing} usage flags in the guest's grant
+table as appropriate.
+
+Unfortunately, at the moment, the code that updates the accounting
+happens in a different critical section than the one which updates the
+usage flags; this means that under the right circumstances, there may be
+a window in time after the hypervisor reported the grant as being free
+during which the grant referee still had access to the page.
+
+Move the grant accounting code into the same critical section as the
+reporting code to make sure this kind of race can't happen.
+
+This is part of XSA-218.
