[PATCH v2] uio:uio_pci_generic:Don't clear master bit when the process does not exit

From: Su Weifeng
Date: Mon Feb 20 2023 - 11:48:08 EST


From: Weifeng Su <suweifeng1@xxxxxxxxxx>

The /dev/uioX device has concurrent operations in a few scenarios.

For example, when a process using the device exits abnormally,
the management program starts the same process to operate the device.
When the process exits and closes the /dev/uioX device,
the master bit of the device is cleared. In this case, if the
new process is issuing commands, I/Os are suspended and cannot be
automatically recovered.

Therefore, reference counting is added to clear the master bit
only when the last process exits.

The difference between the first patch and the first patch is that
the reference counting operation is performed using the atomic semantics,
just like other drivers under UIO:
