    binder: create userspace-to-binder-buffer copy function · 1a7c3d9b
    Todd Kjos authored
    The binder driver uses a vm_area to map the per-process
    binder buffer space. For 32-bit android devices, this is
    now taking too much vmalloc space. This patch removes
    the use of vm_area when copying the transaction data
    from the sender to the buffer space. Instead of using
    copy_from_user() for multi-page copies, it now uses
    binder_alloc_copy_user_to_buffer() which uses kmap()
    and kunmap() to map each page, and uses copy_from_user()
    for copying to that page.
