Subject: [PATCH] binder: replace unsafe NewAllocation transmute with field move
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 11:29:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008092906.179725-2-blum@kernel.org> (raw)

NewAllocation does not implement Drop and success() can return its
Allocation field directly. Also remove the now-unused transparent
representation.
