Binder uses internal fs interfaces to allocate and install fds: __alloc_fd __fd_install __close_fd get_files_struct put_files_struct These were used to support the passing of fds between processes as part of a transaction. The actual allocation and installation of the fds in the target process was handled by the sending process so the standard functions, alloc_fd() and fd_install() which assume task==current couldn't be used. This patch refactors this mechanism so that the fds are allocated and installed by the target process allowing the standard functions to be used. The sender now creates a list of fd fixups that contains the struct *file and the address to fixup with the new fd once it is allocated. This list is processed by the target process when the transaction is dequeued. A new error case is introduced by this change. If an async transaction with file descriptors cannot allocate new fds in the target (probably due to out of file descriptors), the transaction is discarded with a log message. In the old implementation this would have been detected in the sender context and failed prior to sending.

Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
|
|
and remote method invocation.
|
|
|
|
This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
|
|
Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
|
|
between said processes.

Default value for the binder.devices parameter.

The binder.devices parameter is a comma-separated list of strings
|
|
that specifies the names of the binder device nodes that will be
|
|
created. Each binder device has its own context manager, and is
|
|
therefore logically separated from the other devices.
