Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Delete task_euid()
Date: Thu, 07 May 2026 09:48:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507-remove-task-euid-v3-0-27f22f335c2c@google.com> (raw)
The task_euid() method is a very weird method, and Binder was the only
user. As of commit 65b672152289 ("binder: use current_euid() for
transaction sender identity") Binder doesn't use task_euid() anymore,
so we can delete this method.
My suggestion would be to merge this through the LSM tree.
