Subject: [PATCH 2/2] binder: fix is_failure flag for superseded transaction cleanup
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 22:53:16 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812195316.259136-3-tomerpo@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812195316.259136-1-tomerpo@gmail.com>

When a TF_UPDATE_TXN transaction supersedes a pending async transaction,
binder_release_entire_buffer() is called with is_failure=false. Since the
superseded transaction was never delivered, binder_apply_fd_fixups() was
never called and no fds were installed in the target process.

With is_failure=false, the BINDER_TYPE_FDA cleanup handler interprets
stale buffer contents as installed fd numbers and passes them to
binder_deferred_fd_close(), closing unrelated file descriptors.

Pass is_failure=true since the transaction was never delivered to the
target, matching the semantics of all other undelivered-transaction
cleanup paths.

Fixes: 9864bb480133 ("binder: add TF_UPDATE_TXN to replace outdated txn")
