Could you explain WTF is io_issue_sqe() doing in case of IORING_OP_CLOSE?
Specifically, what is the value of
req->close.fd = READ_ONCE(sqe->fd);
if (req->file->f_op == &io_uring_fops ||
req->close.fd == req->ctx->ring_fd)
return -EBADF;
in io_close_prep()? And what does happen if some joker does dup2()
of something with io_uring_fops into our slot right after that check?
Before the subsequent
ret = __close_fd_get_file(req->close.fd, &req->close.put_file);
that is.
