Jens Axboe fd2206e4e9 io_uring: disallow close of ring itself
A previous commit enabled this functionality, which also enabled O_PATH
to work correctly with io_uring. But we can't safely close the ring
itself, as the file handle isn't reference counted inside
io_uring_enter(). Instead of jumping through hoops to enable ring
closure, add a "soft" ->needs_file option, ->needs_file_no_error. This
enables O_PATH file descriptors to work, but still catches the case of
trying to close the ring itself.

README

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.
