The type defined for the BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl was changed from size_t to __u32 in order to avoid incompatibility issues between 32 and 64-bit kernels. However, the internal types used to copy from user and store the value were never updated. Use u32 to fix the inconsistency.

Why does only patch 4/4 need to go into the tree now, and as a stable backport, but the first 3 do not? Shouldn't this be two different series of patches, one 3 long, and one 1 long, to go to the different branches (next and linus)?
Yes, that is correct. Only patch 4/4 would need to be picked for linus now and for stable. The others would go to next. Sorry, I was not aware that sending them separately would be preferred.
I'll drop 4/4 patch from the series in v2. Let me know if you still need me to send it again separately.
Thanks, Carlos Llamas
