[PATCH 2/2] staging: android: binder: use stack for locally used variable

[SeongJae Park]

The variable `binder_debugfs_dir_entry_root` is declared as static
global variable although it is accessed from init function only. Declare
it as init function's local variable because it would be better to read
and memory efficiency.

Are you sure?  You now just lost that pointer and it can never be freed.

Not that it ever was, but before it was obvious as to what would need to
be done if the module could ever be made to be unloaded...

As it is, this code is fine, I can't take this patch.

Oops, you are right.

It's useful for debugging, I'll leave it as-is, sorry.

Or just convert pr_info to pr_debug and leave uncommented?

Sounds much better. Thank you for suggestion.
I will send patch with your recommend again soon.
