While diving into io_uring fileset register/unregister/update codes, we found one bug in the fileset update handling. io_uring fileset update use a percpu_ref variable to check whether we can put the previously registered file, only when the refcnt of the perfcpu_ref variable reaches zero, can we safely put these files. But this doesn't work so well. If applications always issue requests continually, this perfcpu_ref will never have an chance to reach zero, and it'll always be in atomic mode, also will defeat the gains introduced by fileset register/unresiger/update feature, which are used to reduce the atomic operation overhead of fput/fget. To fix this issue, while applications do IORING_REGISTER_FILES or IORING_REGISTER_FILES_UPDATE operations, we allocate a new percpu_ref and kill the old percpu_ref, new requests will use the new percpu_ref. Once all previous old requests complete, old percpu_refs will be dropped and registered files will be put safely.

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.
