This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
binder: don't detect sender/target during buffer cleanup
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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: binder: don't detect sender/target during buffer cleanup
When freeing txn buffers, binder_transaction_buffer_release()
attempts to detect whether the current context is the target by
comparing current->group_leader to proc->tsk. This is an unreliable
test. Instead explicitly pass an 'is_failure' boolean.
Detecting the sender was being used as a way to tell if the
transaction failed to be sent. When cleaning up after
failing to send a transaction, there is no need to close
the fds associated with a BINDER_TYPE_FDA object. Now
'is_failure' can be used to accurately detect this case.
Fixes: 44d8047f1d87 ("binder: use standard functions to allocate fds")
