Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] rust_binder: Implement BINDER_DEBUG_USER_ERROR for refcounting and death notifications
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:32:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-rust_binder_debug_mask-v2-3-2846410e3ae6@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-rust_binder_debug_mask-v2-0-2846410e3ae6@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.
