This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

binder: add flag to clear buffer on txn complete

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Todd Kjos tkjos@google.com Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 15:37:43 -0800 Subject: binder: add flag to clear buffer on txn complete

Add a per-transaction flag to indicate that the buffer must be cleared when the transaction is complete to prevent copies of sensitive data from being preserved in memory.
