[PATCH] binder: fix proc->files use-after-free

proc->files cleanup is initiated by binder_vma_close. Therefore a reference on the binder_proc is not enough to prevent the files_struct from being released while the binder_proc still has a reference. This can lead to an attempt to dereference the stale pointer obtained from proc->files prior to

[PATCH 1/1] tools/hv: add install target to Makefile

[PATCH 1/1] hv: kvp: Avoid reading past allocated blocks from KVP file

From: Paul Meyer While reading in more than one block (50) of KVP records, the allocation goes per block, but the reads used the total number of allocated records (without resetting the pointer/stream). This causes the records buffer to overrun when the refresh reads

[PATCH net] hv_netvsc: preserve hw_features on mtu/channels/ringparam changes

rndis_filter_device_add() is called both from netvsc_probe() when we initially create the device and from set channels/mtu/ringparam routines where we basically remove the device and add it back. hw_features is reset in rndis_filter_device_add() and filled with host data. However, we lose all
