Nice catch! Will remove the extra 's' in v2.

You're right. I'll add a new local variable and set it between the existing
binder_inner_proc_lock() and binder_inner_proc_unlock().

Will change it in v2. Thanks!

Eventually the sender has to wait this whole function finish and then
call another
ioctl to actually read tcomplete back. If this task gets cheduled out,
it won't have
a chance to perform that reading operation even without this change. So there's
no difference.
