Posted by bajing 1 year, 5 months ago
The comment for binder_proc_unlock was incorrect, so it should be modified.

Can you specify why the comment is incorrect?

I'm ok with your change. It is specific about which spinlock it releases
(even though this is obvious from the code). It also pairs better with
the acquire comment block in binder_proc_lock().

However, you need to modify your commit message as the current comment
is technically _not_ incorrect. Can you please send a v2?

Thanks,
