= Solution

Set $f=A+Be^{-C\eta}$ with $C>0$. The differential equation reduces to
$$
BC^2(A-C)e^{-C\eta}=0,
$$
so $A=C$. The two wall conditions give
$$
A+B=0,\qquad -BC=1.
$$
Hence $C^2=1$, and positivity of $C$ yields
$$
\boxed{A=1,\qquad B=-1,\qquad C=1},
$$
or
$$
\boxed{f(\eta)=1-e^{-\eta}}.
$$
