This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
binder: fix log spam for existing debugfs file creation.
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-testing 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 be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: binder: fix log spam for existing debugfs file creation.
Since commit 43e23b6c0b01 ("debugfs: log errors when something goes wrong")
debugfs logs attempts to create existing files.
However binder attempts to create multiple debugfs files with
the same name when a single PID has multiple contexts, this leads
to log spamming during an Android boot (17 such messages during
boot on my system).
Fix this by checking if we already know the PID and only create
the debugfs entry for the first context per PID.
Do the same thing for binderfs for symmetry.
