[$] io_uring, SCM_RIGHTS, and reference-count cycles
Wednesday February 13, 2019. 05:23 PM , from LWN.net
The io_uring mechanism that was described here in
January has been through a number of revisions since then; those changes have generally been fixing implementation issues rather than changing the user-space API. In particular, this patch set seems to have received more than the usual amount of security-related review, which can only be a good thing. Security concerns became a bit of an obstacle for io_uring, though, when virtual filesystem (VFS) maintainer Al Viro threatened to veto the merging of the whole thing. It turns out that there were some reference-counting issues that required his unique experience to straighten out.
