Subject: [15/21] Staging: android: binder: Fix crashes when sharing a binder file between processes

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@...roid.com>

commit bd1eff9741af27378b241b347041c724bb28e857 upstream.

Opening the binder driver and sharing the file returned with
other processes (e.g. by calling fork) can crash the kernel.
Prevent these crashes with the following changes:
- Add a mutex to protect against two processes mmapping the
  same binder_proc.
- After locking mmap_sem, check that the vma we want to access
  (still) points to the same mm_struct.
- Use proc->tsk instead of current to get the files struct since
  this is where we get the rlimit from.
