This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    binder: Use wake up hint for synchronous transactions.

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.

Subject: binder: Use wake up hint for synchronous transactions.

Use wake_up_interruptible_sync() to hint to the scheduler binder
transactions are synchronous wakeups. Disable preemption while waking
to avoid ping-ponging on the binder lock.
