From eda70a559187ebc33b8019a50bcc4077030f2ed3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Todd Kjos Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2017 13:46:01 -0700 Subject: Revert "android: binder: Sanity check at binder ioctl" commit a2b18708ee14baec4ef9c0fba96070bba14d0081 upstream. This reverts commit a906d6931f3ccaf7de805643190765ddd7378e27. The patch introduced a race in the binder driver. An attempt to fix the race was submitted in "[PATCH v2] android: binder: fix dangling pointer comparison", however the conclusion in the discussion for that patch was that the original patch should be reverted. The reversion is being done as part of the fine-grained locking patchset since the patch would need to be refactored when proc->vmm_vm_mm is removed from struct binder_proc and added in the binder allocator.
