Hi Juergen,

I can see from the code that there is another path to out_unlock_put label some lines before:

        […]
        vma->vm_private_data = map;
	if (map->flags) {
		if ((vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE) &&
				(map->flags & GNTMAP_readonly))
			goto out_unlock_put;
	} else {
		map->flags = GNTMAP_host_map;
		if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
			map->flags |= GNTMAP_readonly;
	}
        […]

Can be the case that use_ptemod is != 0 also for that path?

Cheers,
Luca
