+From: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>
+Subject: x86/shadow: fix ref-counting error handling
+
+The old-Linux handling in shadow_set_l4e() mistakenly ORed together the
+results of sh_get_ref() and sh_pin(). As the latter failing is not a
+correctness problem, simply ignore its return value.
+
+In sh_set_toplevel_shadow() a failing sh_get_ref() must not be
+accompanied by installing the entry, despite the domain being crashed.
+
+This is XSA-250.
