Subject: [PATCH] binder: Drop needless locking in binder_mmap()
Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 17:51:51 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170524145151.21310-1-dsafonov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)

binder_mmap() protected proc->buffer from concurrent changes.
It was introduced with commit bd1eff9741af ("Staging: android: binder:
Fix crashes when sharing a binder file between processes").

The commit fixed such races alike:

task1
=====
fd = open("/dev/binder",..)
fork()
---------------------------------------->task2
  |                                      =====
mmap(fd)				mmap(fd)

Afterwards the situation was changed with the commit a79f41ed9786
("binder: don't allow mmap() by process other than proc->tsk").
That commit prohibited mmap'ing of fd, that was opened by some
other task.
That restriction has made locking in binder_mmap() unnecessary.
