binder: fix max_thread type inconsistency

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

 



From: Carlos Llamas <cmllamas@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 42316941335644a98335f209daafa4c122f28983 upstream.

The type defined for the BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl was changed from
size_t to __u32 in order to avoid incompatibility issues between 32 and
64-bit kernels. However, the internal types used to copy from user and
store the value were never updated. Use u32 to fix the inconsistency.
