io_uring tracks requests that are referencing an io_uring descriptor to
be able to cancel without worrying about loops in the references. Since
we now assign the file at execution time, the easier approach is to drop
a potentially problematic reference before we punt the request. This
eliminates the need to special case these types of files beyond just
marking them as such, and simplifies cancelation quite a bit.
This also fixes a recent issue where an async punted tee operation would
with the io_uring descriptor as the output file would crash when
attempting to get a reference to the file from the io-wq worker. We
could have worked around that, but this is the much cleaner fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
