struct binder_buffer *buffer;
size_t buffer_size;
struct rb_node *best_fit = NULL;

I see 'best_fit' is initialized by being directly assigned a NULL 
pointer, I think it should be better to initialize pointer in this way.

I got the following compiling warning against buffer ans buffer_size:

drivers/staging/android/binder.c:719:24: warning: ‘buffer’ may be used 
uninitialized in this function
drivers/staging/android/binder.c:720:9: warning: ‘buffer_size’ may be 
used uninitialized in this function

Thanks,
