+From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
+Subject: x86: don't allow page_unlock() to drop the last type reference
+
+Only _put_page_type() does the necessary cleanup, and hence not all
+domain pages can be released during guest cleanup (leaving around
+zombie domains) if we get this wrong.
+
+This is XSA-242.
