[PATCH 4.9 68/84] binder: use group leader instead of open thread

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Todd Kjos <tkjos@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c4ea41ba195d01c9af66fb28711a16cc97caa9c5 upstream.

The binder allocator assumes that the thread that
called binder_open will never die for the lifetime of
that proc. That thread is normally the group_leader,
however it may not be. Use the group_leader instead
of current.
