Normally within a syscall it's fine to use fdget/fdput for grabbing a
file from the file table, and it's fine within io_uring as well. We do
that via io_uring_enter(2), io_uring_register(2), and then also for
cancel which is invoked from the latter. io_uring cannot close its own
file descriptors as that is explicitly rejected, and for the cancel
side of things, the file itself is just used as a lookup cookie.
However, it is more prudent to ensure that full references are always
grabbed. For anything threaded, either explicitly in the application
itself or through use of the io-wq worker threads, this is what happens
anyway. Generalize it and use fget/fput throughout.
Also see the below link for more details.
