[PATCH] android: binder: Fix lockdep check on clearing vma
From: Liam Howlett
Date: Mon Jun 27 2022 - 11:19:15 EST
When munmapping a vma, the mmap_lock can be degraded to a write before
calling close() on the file handle. The binder close() function calls
binder_alloc_set_vma() to clear the vma address, which now has a lock
dep check for writing on the mmap_lock. Change the lockdep check to
ensure the reading lock is held while clearing and keep the write check
while writing.
