This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ANDROID: binder: Add strong ref checks to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 0a3ffab93fe52530602fe47cd74802cffdb19c05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Arve=20Hj=C3=B8nnev=C3=A5g?= <arve@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 15:20:29 +0200 Subject: ANDROID: binder: Add strong ref checks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Prevent using a binder_ref with only weak references where a strong reference is required.
