File reference cycles have caused lots of problems for io_uring
in the past, and it still doesn't work exactly right and races with
unix_stream_read_generic(). The safest fix would be to completely
disallow sending io_uring files via sockets via SCM_RIGHT, so there
are no possible cycles invloving registered files and thus rendering
SCM accounting on the io_uring side unnecessary.

Note, it's a minimal patch intended for backporting, all the leftovers
will be cleaned up separately.

As it involves AF_UNIX I should have CC'ed net maintainers,
I'll be resending it.

So, this will break existing users, right?

Do you know of anyone actually sending io_uring FDs over unix domain
sockets? That seems to me like a fairly weird thing to do.

Thinking again about who might possibly do such a thing, the only
usecase I can think of is CRIU; and from what I can tell, CRIU doesn't
yet support io_uring anyway.

I do not.  However, it's tough to prove no software is doing this.

I am often surprised by what developers choose to do.  I attribute that
to my lack of imagination.

I'm not lobbying against turning this off, and I'm sure Pavel had
already considered the potential impact before posting.  It would be
good to include that information in the commit message, in my opinion.

This is obviously true, however I think it's very low risk here as it's
mostly a legacy/historic use case and that really should not what's
using io_uring. On top of that, the most efficient ways of using
io_uring will exclude passing and using a ring from a different task
anyway.

I think you stated that very professionally, in my experience the
reasonings are rather different :-)

It's too late for that now, but I can mention it in the pull request at
least.

I thought you might like that.  :)

It has already been taken by Jens into the io_uring tree, and a pr
with it was merged by Linus. I think it should be dropped from
the net tree?

Jens already replied, but I wanted to add that it was discussed and
decided to go forward with, because there are no too obvious / known
users, and the benefits including safety outweigh it.

Yeah, agree with that

Ugh, I think if I revert it now it can only hurt.
Git will figure out that the change is identical, and won't complain 
at the merge (unless we change it again on top, IIUC).

If I may, however, in the most polite way possible put forward 
the suggestion to send a notification to the list when patch is
applied, it helps avoid such confusion... I do hate most automated 
emails myself, but an "applied" notification is good.

Yeah, git will handle it just fine, it’ll just be an empty duplicate. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

I did do that, I always do. But looks like b4 replies to the first email rather than the one that had netdev cc’ed, which may be why this happened in the first place.
