If done in a dumb way, that'd mean extra pair of percpu get/put
and +8B in io_kiocb. Frankly, I don't like that idea.

However, if you don't split paths and make fixed_file_ref_node to
supports all types of resources at the same time, it should be
bearable. I.e. register removals of both types to a single node,
and use ->fixed_file_refs for all request's resources.
So you don't grow io_kiocb and do maximum one percpu_ref_get/put()
pair per request.

I'll send a small patch preparing grounds, because there is actually
another nasty thing from past that needs to be reworked.

	case IORING_REGISTER_PROBE:
	case IORING_REGISTER_PERSONALITY:

		return false;
	default:
		return true;
	}
}

It returns _false_ for these cases, so _doesn't_ quiesce for them.

io_import_fixed() currently can be called twice, and that would give
you 2 different bvecs. Hence after removing full quisce io_read()
retrying short reads will probably be able to partially read into 2
different buffers. That really have to be fixed.


I haven't looked the patchset properly yet. I'll reply to the
cover-letter + a small comment below

I removed it for files,
because (ctx->buf_data) IFF (ctx->nr_user_bufs == 0),
so the following ctx->nr_user_bufs check is enough.
