This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ANDROID: binder: fix transaction leak. 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 fb2c445277e7b0b4ffe10de8114bad4eccaca948 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martijn Coenen <maco@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2017 10:06:08 +0100 Subject: ANDROID: binder: fix transaction leak. If a call to put_user() fails, we failed to properly free a transaction and send a failed reply (if necessary).
