before used

Why do you clear the warning on buffer_size with uninitialized_var()
but not on buffer?

struct binder_buffer *buffer;
size_t buffer_size;
struct rb_node *best_fit = NULL;

I see 'best_fit' is initialized by being directly assigned a NULL pointer, I think it should be better to initialize pointer in this way.

Neither variable is used before being initialized.

I got the following compiling warning against buffer ans buffer_size:

drivers/staging/android/binder.c:719:24: warning: ‘buffer’ may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/staging/android/binder.c:720:9: warning: ‘buffer_size’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Thanks,
