[PATCH] android: binder: Fix a possible data race in binder_alloc_mmap_handler
From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Tue May 08 2018 - 05:06:54 EST
The write operations to "alloc->buffer" are protected by
the lock on line 679 and 730, but the read operation to
this data on line 712 is not protected by the lock.
Thus, there may exist a data race for "alloc->buffer".
To fix this data race, the read operation to "alloc->buffer"
should be also protected by the lock.
