[PATCH] android/binder: fix fput comment

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

 



Just something I noticed while looking at FD-passing code.
Didn't test the change.

BUG_ON is intentional, if someone rewrites the code to hit
that, it can be a security issue.
