From: Todd Kjos <tkjos@xxxxxxxxxxx> proc->files cleanup is initiated by binder_vma_close. Therefore a reference on the binder_proc is not enough to prevent the files_struct from being released while the binder_proc still has a reference. This can lead to an attempt to dereference the stale pointer obtained from proc->files prior to proc->files cleanup. This has been seen once in task_get_unused_fd_flags() when __alloc_fd() is called with a stale "files". The fix is to protect proc->files with a mutex to prevent cleanup while in use.
