Subject: [PATCH 3/7] rust_binder: Implement the BINDER_DEBUG_USER_ERROR logging mask for reference counting and death notification operations
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2026 15:29:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703-rust_binder_debug_mask-v1-3-9bdf12b5325c@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703-rust_binder_debug_mask-v1-0-9bdf12b5325c@google.com>
From: Jahnavi MN <jahnavimn@google.com>
This adds dynamic debug logs for:
- Decrementing handle reference counts that are already zero.
- Mismatched reference states (calling inc_ref_done with no active
inc_refs, or using a weak reference as a strong reference).
- Requesting or clearing death notifications on invalid references,
already active notifications, or with mismatched cookies.
