gref->gref_id is unsigned so the error handling didn't work.
gnttab_grant_foreign_access() returns an int type, so we can add a
cast here, and it doesn't cause any problems.
gnttab_grant_foreign_access() can return a variety of errors
including -ENOSPC, -ENOSYS and -ENOMEM.

On 32 bit systems a high value of op.count could lead to an integer
overflow in the kzalloc() and gref_ids would be smaller than
expected. If the you triggered another integer overflow in
"if (gref_size + op.count > limit)" then you'd probably get memory
corruption inside add_grefs().

The only time when granted pages need to be treated specially is when
using Xen's PTE modification for grant mappings owned by another domain
(that is, only gntdev on PV guests). Otherwise, the area does not
require VM_DONTCOPY and VM_PFNMAP, since it can be accessed just like
any other page of RAM.
Since the vm_operations_struct close operations decrement reference
counts, a corresponding open function that increments them is required
now that it is possible to have multiple references to a single area.
We are careful in the gntdev to check if we can remove those flags. The
reason that we need to be careful in gntdev on PV guests is because we are
not changing the PFN/MFN mapping on PV; instead, we change the application's
page tables to point to the other domain's memory. This means that the vma
cannot be copied without using another grant mapping hypercall; it also
requires special handling on unmap, which is the reason for gntdev's
dependency on the MMU notifier.
For gntalloc, this is not a concern - the pages are owned by the domain
using the gntalloc device, and can be mapped and unmapped in the same manner
as any other page of memory.

[v2: Added in git commit "We are.." from email correspondence]
This ioctl allows the users of a shared page to be notified when
the other end exits abnormally.

This allows a userspace application to allocate a shared page for
implementing inter-domain communication or device drivers. These
shared pages can be mapped using the gntdev device or by the kernel
in another domain.
