Use binder_alloc struct's mm_struct rather than getting
a reference to the mm struct through get_task_mm to
avoid a potential deadlock between lru lock, task lock and
dentry lock, since a thread can be holding the task lock
and the dentry lock while trying to acquire the lru lock.

Because we're not guaranteed that subsequent calls
to poll() will have a poll_table_struct parameter
with _qproc set. When _qproc is not set, poll_wait()
is a noop, and we won't be woken up correctly.

User-space normally keeps the node alive when creating a transaction
since it has a reference to the target. The local strong ref keeps it
alive if the sending process dies before the target process processes
the transaction. If the source process is malicious or has a reference
counting bug, this can fail.

In this case, when we attempt to decrement the node in the failure
path, the node has already been freed.

This is fixed by taking a tmpref on the node while constructing
the transaction. To avoid re-acquiring the node lock and inner
proc lock to increment the proc's tmpref, a helper is used that
does the ref increments on both the node and proc.

Drop the global lru lock in isolate callback before calling
zap_page_range which calls cond_resched, and re-acquire the global lru
lock before returning.  Also change return code to LRU_REMOVED_RETRY.

Use mmput_async when fail to acquire mmap sem in an atomic context.

Fix "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context"
errors when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is enabled.

Also restore mmput_async, which was initially introduced in commit
ec8d7c14ea14 ("mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom
reaper context"), and was removed in commit 212925802454 ("mm: oom: let
oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently").

commit 7a4408c6bd3e ("binder: make sure accesses to proc/thread are
safe") made a change to enqueue tcomplete to thread-&gt;todo before
enqueuing the transaction. However, in err_dead_proc_or_thread case,
the tcomplete is directly freed, without dequeued. It may cause the
thread-&gt;todo list to be corrupted.

So, dequeue it before freeing.

Allowing binder to expose the 64-bit API on 32-bit kernels caused a
build warning:

drivers/android/binder.c: In function 'binder_transaction_buffer_release':
drivers/android/binder.c:2220:15: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
    fd_array = (u32 *)(parent_buffer + fda-&gt;parent_offset);

drivers/android/binder.c: In function 'binder_fixup_parent':
drivers/android/binder.c:2511:18: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]

This adds extra type casts to avoid the warning.

However, there is another problem with the Kconfig option: turning
it on or off creates two incompatible ABI versions, a kernel that
has this enabled cannot run user space that was built without it
or vice versa. A better solution might be to leave the option hidden
until the binder code is fixed to deal with both ABI versions.

<title>ANDROID: binder: don't queue async transactions to thread.</title>

<id>3a6430ce462172caac7c73f4afd550ab0f105737</id>
<content type='text'>
This can cause issues with processes using the poll()
interface:

1) client sends two oneway transactions
2) the second one gets queued on async_todo
   (because the server didn't handle the first one
    yet)
3) server returns from poll(), picks up the
   first transaction and does transaction work
4) server is done with the transaction, sends
   BC_FREE_BUFFER, and the second transaction gets
   moved to thread-&gt;todo
5) libbinder's handlePolledCommands() only handles
   the commands in the current data buffer, so
   doesn't see the new transaction
6) the server continues running and issues a new
   outgoing transaction. Now, it suddenly finds
   the incoming oneway transaction on its thread
   todo, and returns that to userspace.
7) userspace does not expect this to happen; it
   may be holding a lock while making the outgoing
   transaction, and if handling the incoming
   trasnaction requires taking the same lock,
   userspace will deadlock.

By queueing the async transaction to the proc
workqueue, we make sure it's only picked up when
a thread is ready for proc work.

This can cause issues with processes using the poll()
interface:

1) client sends two oneway transactions
2) the second one gets queued on async_todo
   (because the server didn't handle the first one
    yet)
3) server returns from poll(), picks up the
   first transaction and does transaction work
4) server is done with the transaction, sends
   BC_FREE_BUFFER, and the second transaction gets
   moved to thread-&gt;todo
5) libbinder's handlePolledCommands() only handles
   the commands in the current data buffer, so
   doesn't see the new transaction
6) the server continues running and issues a new
   outgoing transaction. Now, it suddenly finds
   the incoming oneway transaction on its thread
   todo, and returns that to userspace.
7) userspace does not expect this to happen; it
   may be holding a lock while making the outgoing
   transaction, and if handling the incoming
   trasnaction requires taking the same lock,
   userspace will deadlock.

By queueing the async transaction to the proc
workqueue, we make sure it's only picked up when
a thread is ready for proc work.
