patch "binder: fix null deref of proc->context" added to char-misc-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    binder: fix null deref of proc->context

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-linus 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 hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: binder: fix null deref of proc->context

The binder driver makes the assumption proc->context pointer is invariant after
initialization (as documented in the kerneldoc header for struct proc).
However, in commit f0fe2c0f050d ("binder: prevent UAF for binderfs devices II")
proc->context is set to NULL during binder_deferred_release().

Another proc was in the middle of setting up a transaction to the dying
process and crashed on a NULL pointer deref on "context" which is a local
set to &proc->context:

    new_ref->data.desc = (node == context->binder_context_mgr_node) ? 0 : 1;

Here's the stack:

[ 5237.855493] el0_svc_handler+0x74/0x98
[ 5237.855497] el0_svc+0x8/0xc

The fix is to move the kfree of the binder_device to binder_free_proc()
so the binder_device is freed when we know there are no references
remaining on the binder_proc.
