Thanks to clarify! Got it.

Also in this case, IIUC io_put_sq_data() is called only when
io_uring_release() is invoked on the previous io_uring instance.

Since we are taking a reference with fdget at the begin of io_attach_sq_data()
and we release this reference only at the end of io_attach_sq_data(),
can io_put_sq_data() runs in another thread while we have the reference?

Thanks,
Stefano
