Subject: android: binder: fix lockdep check on clearing vma
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2022 15:18:59 +0000
When munmapping a vma, the mmap_lock can be degraded to a write before
calling close() on the file handle. The binder close() function calls
binder_alloc_set_vma() to clear the vma address, which now has a lock dep
check for writing on the mmap_lock. Change the lockdep check to ensure
the reading lock is held while clearing and keep the write check while
writing.
