Binderfs binder-control devices are cleaned up via binderfs_evict_inode
too() which will use refcount_dec_and_test(). However, we missed to set
the refcount for binderfs binder-control devices and so we underflowed
when the binderfs instance got unmounted. Pretty obvious oversight and
should have been part of the more general UAF fix. The good news is that
having test cases (suprisingly) helps.
Technically, we could detect that we're about to cleanup the
binder-control dentry in binderfs_evict_inode() and then simply clean it
up. But that makes the assumption that the binder driver itself will
never make use of a binderfs binder-control device after the binderfs
instance it belongs to has been unmounted and the superblock for it been
destroyed. While it is unlikely to ever come to this let's be on the
safe side. Performance-wise this also really doesn't matter since the
binder-control device is only every really when creating the binderfs
filesystem or creating additional binder devices. Both operations are
pretty rare.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
