[PATCH] android: binder: Fix a possible data race in binder_alloc_mmap_handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The write operations to "alloc->buffer" are protected by
the lock on line 679 and 730, but the read operation to
this data on line 712 is not protected by the lock.
Thus, there may exist a data race for "alloc->buffer".

To fix this data race, the read operation to "alloc->buffer" 
should be also protected by the lock.
