Subject: [PATCH] rust_binder: check context manager before creating node
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 03:50:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617222030.15189-1-iganschel@gmail.com> (raw)

Rust Binder currently creates the Binder node before checking
whether a context manager is already registered. If a context manager already
exists, set_manager_node() returns -EBUSY after node state has already been
created.

Add a check before creating the node to match the C Binder ordering for
the common already registered case. Keep the final checks in set_manager_node()
so races with another caller are still handled after node creation.
